One Health and integrated vector management: communication, collaboration and complementarity to address real-life problems

Many neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) result from diverse types of interactions and often complex cycles of transmission between humans and animals, both vertebrates and invertebrates, and changing social and environmental conditions.

Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030 was endorsed by the Seventy-third World Health Assembly last week. The road map supports a cross-sectoral strategy that encompasses One Health and the measures articulated in the Global Vector Control Response (GVCR) 2017–2030.
