What Are the Challenges in Controlling Vector-Borne Diseases?
Several challenges complicate the control of vector-borne diseases:
Insecticide Resistance: Vectors may develop resistance to common insecticides, reducing the effectiveness of control measures. Environmental Changes: Climate change and urbanization can alter vector habitats, potentially increasing the range and population of vectors. Behavioral Changes: Changes in vector behavior, such as feeding times or host preferences, can impact the success of control strategies. Socioeconomic Factors: Limited resources and infrastructure in some regions can hinder the implementation of effective control measures.
