| Abstract | ||||
| Infectious diseases known as "vector-borne diseases" (VBDs) are re-emerging and re-emerging, inflicting considerable economic losses due to high mortality rates, decreased productivity in the livestock sector, and effects on both human and animal health. Furthermore, VBDs make for roughly 25% of important vertebrate pathogens for veterinarians. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites cause vector-borne illnesses, which are spread through the bite of hematophagous arthropods (mostly ticks and mosquitoes). Given that most of these diseases are zoonotic, managing them requires a multidisciplinary approach. Insects that feed on disease-causing microorganisms from an infected host (human or animal) and then inject them into their next victim during their next blood meal include mosquitoes, sandflies, ticks, bugs, flies, fleas, lice, and some freshwater aquatic snails. Arthropod populations, such as flea, tick, mosquito, sandfly, and Culicoides populations, are susceptible to quick changes in temperature and humidity. Both the abundance and distribution of vectors can be impacted by climatic changes that go beyond simple increases in mean temperature. The current review throws lights into VBDs and their vectors in Egypt. | ||||
