Vector-Borne Diseases and How to Avoid Them

Vector-borne diseases that is, diseases spread by vectors like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas cause approximately700,000 deaths annually. These account for about 17% of all infectious diseases, including malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, yellow fever, and more.

When spending time outdoors, consider these tips to protect yourself from mosquitoes:

• Wear loose-fitting, light clothing. If in an area with especially heavy mosquito population, consider a head net.
• Avoid outdoor activity during peak mosquito feeding times, especially dusk and dawn.
• Mosquitoes thrive on moisture. To avoid pools of stagnant water, throw out any items that may hold water, such as unneeded or unused buckets, cans, and toys.
• When possible, opt for air conditioning rather than opening windows.
• Repair screens on windows and doors
