Abstract
Global policy challenges for urban vector-borne disease risks.
Highlights
Current urbanization patterns are having significant impacts on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases (VBDs), in the low- and middle-income world
Poor urban communities are most vulnerable to VBDs
The recent spread of Zika virus in low- and middle-income countries has been facilitated by urban crowding and poor housing in conjunction with a lack of running water, inadequate water storage, poor surface water drainage and waste management
Summary
Current urbanization patterns are having significant impacts on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases (VBDs), in the low- and middle-income world. A better understanding of urban typologies and monitoring of vulnerable populations will enable improved environmental management and targeted interventions
