Emerging vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are a major public health concern worldwide. Climate change, environmental degradation and globalisation have led to an expansion in the range of many vectors and an erosion of transmission barriers, increasing human exposure to new pathogens and the risk for emerging VBD outbreaks. Europe is potentially underprepared for the increasing threat of VBDs, due to attention and funding being diverted to other public health priorities. Proactive, rather than reactive, prevention and control approaches can greatly reduce the socio-economic toll of VBDs. Endemic countries globally have decades of experience in controlling VBDs, and Europe has much to learn from this knowledge. Here, we advocate for the expansion of transdisciplinary knowledge-sharing partnerships, to co-create proactive measures against VBDs. We present the experiences and expertise of our diverse international team and explore how an array of interventions can be applied and adapted to the European context.
新出现的媒介传播疾病是全球主要的公共卫生问题。气候变化、环境退化和全球化导致许多病媒的分布范围扩大,传播障碍受到侵蚀,增加了人类接触新病原体的机会以及新出现的媒介传播疾病暴发的风险。由于注意力和资金被转移到其他公共卫生优先事项上,欧洲可能对媒介传播疾病日益增加的威胁准备不足。积极主动而非被动应对的预防和控制方法可以大大降低媒介传播疾病造成的社会经济损失。全球流行国家在控制媒介传播疾病方面拥有数十年的经验,欧洲有很多东西可以从这些知识中学习。在此,我们主张扩大跨学科知识共享伙伴关系,以共同制定针对媒介传播疾病的积极措施。我们介绍了我们多元化的国际团队的经验和专业知识,并探讨如何将一系列干预措施应用于欧洲背景并进行调整。
