Special Issue Information
During the past decade, vector-borne diseases and zoonotic diseases have (re-)emerged in areas where they had been previously eradicated or never been recorded before. The objectives of this special issue are the following: (i) understanding the drivers of these diseases (re-)emergence; (ii) prioritization of these diseases and/or their vectors based on a multidisciplinary and evidence-based method; (iii) assessment of their spatio-temporal pattern (trends observation or trends analysis); (iii) signal capture of these diseases (re-)emergence; (iv) improvement of laboratory diagnostic capacities towards these diseases; (iv) estimation of their the costs; and (v) proposition of some mitigation measures or strategies to decrease their impacts/consequences on the host population(s). Review papers including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as well as original papers on the matter that contribute to the objectives are welcome.
