“Vector-borne diseases”.
Vector-borne diseases rely upon organisms, named vectors, such as
mosquitoes, ticks or sandflies that have an active role in the
transmission of a pathogen from one host to the other.
Many factors that may facilitate the introduction and
establishment of disease vectors, reservoirs or pathogens in new
geographic areas could lead to the emergence of a disease in the
European Union (EU). These factors include international travel
and trade, e.g. legal and illegal trade in animals and animal
products, new agricultural practices and land-use patterns, socio-
demographic evolution and climatic changes.
