dc.description.abstractThe paper explores the ecological dimension of vector-borne diseases in order to clarify the role of "ecological thinking" in the development and implementation of vector control activities. It traces some anthropogenic factors in research, and reviews a systems ecology of dengue and Chagas disease. Vector-borne diseases are essentially ecological problems that span biophysical, social, and economic environments. The paper views the ecological dimension as a unifying element that can provide direction in research, with a holistic perspective important for all participants/stakeholders involved.en
