• Description:
  Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) spread by ticks and mosquitoes are on the rise. Ranges of ticks are expanding, placing more people at risk for tick bites. Sporadic mosquito-borne disease outbreaks are also an ongoing public health concern. The best way to protect against VBDs is through personal protective behaviors (PPBs)—activities and habits like using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents, emptying standing water, and avoiding brushy areas. The Division of Vector-Borne Diseases at CDC conducted several focus groups with different at-risk audiences to better understand which PPBs are being performed, and likely to be performed, and how to best communicate prevention of VBDs. ; CS 335748-A 01/23/2023 ; 335748-A_FS_TickMosqBitePrev-508.pdf
