Description:Our nation’s ability to defend against the present and future threat of vector-borne diseases relies on a comprehensive national system that is able to detect, prevent, and respond to these threats. A concerted and sustained effort is needed to address significant challenges and reverse the upward trends in illness, suffering, and death from vector-borne diseases. This effort must enhance collaboration, coordination, and communication across human, animal, and environmental health sectors, as well as other relevant sectors, to address vector-borne threats at the human-animal-environment interface (a One Health approach).
To reverse the current upward trends in vector-borne diseases and to increase the nation’s ability to protect the U.S. population from these diseases, five federal departments and the Environmental Protection Agency contributed to developing a national framework for vector-borne disease prevention and control. These federal partners represent the primary federal departments and agencies engaged in vector-borne disease prevention and control.
The scope of this framework includes federal activities necessary to detect, prevent, and control vector-borne diseases in humans in the United States. While this framework is domestically focused and limited to activities within the mission of the federal government, it relates to a broader range of critical activities such as clinical care, vector control services, and international work. Successful implementation of the framework will require collaboration within and outside of the federal government.
