Rapid response

Collective coordinated preventive measures are needed

In recent years the reappearance of many insect-borne diseases, particularly from mosquitoes, is challenging to communities and health care systems. The development of resistant mutations variant in pathogenic organisms and vectors, along with the increased susceptibility of human beings and environmental influences, are a few factors now influencing the spread and the severity of vector-borne diseases like Ebola. So collective coordinated preventive measures at all levels among countries are the need of the hour to tackle and prevent these diseases in the near future and forever.
