Emerging Challenges in Diagnosis and Prevention of Vector-Borne Communicable Diseases: A Pathological Perspective

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Vector-borne communicable diseases such as malaria, chikungunya, and dengue continue to pose major global health threats. With climate change expanding the geographic reach of vectors, early diagnosis becomes essential. This paper delves into the pathological advancements in identifying vector- borne infections and examines the role of laboratory diagnostics in tracking disease evolution. Modern tools like PCR and ELISA, when integrated with field surveillance, provide accurate and early detection. Preventive strategies including vector control, health education, and community awareness are analyzed in light of pathological evidence. This research emphasizes the necessity of collaboration among clinicians, pathologists, and public health authorities to curb outbreaks in endemic zones.
