ABSTRACT:
Introduction: A vector-borne disease is one in which the pathogenic micro-organism is transmitted from an infected individual to another individual by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts. Nearly half of the world's population is infected by vector-borne diseases, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. These "vector-borne" diseases include malaria, dengue fever, filaria, Kala-Azar,Chikungunya and Japanese encephalitis. Vector borne diseases (VBDs) account for 17% of the estimated global burden of all infectious diseases.
