Prevention
While the protection of vector-borne diseases can take a number of forms, the proper use of a repellent is the only way to ensure full and continuous protection.
La razón principal de esto es que los insectos que pican y transmiten estas enfermedades mortales están activos durante todo el día y la noche. Así, por ejemplo, el uso de un mosquitero tratado con insecticida, como medio de protección contra el Dengue, es poco probable que sea eficaz dado que el mosquito que trasnsmite el Dengue (Aedes aegypti) esta activo y pica durante el día cuando es probable estar fuera de la protección del mosquitero.

The overwhelming increase of vector-borne diseases will only increase. And, as a result, personal protection, will be a necessity and not something random.
The factors that affect the epidemics of vector-borne diseases, which include:
- Urbanization and population increase out of control, coupled with housing and water supply depressed and a poor handling of the health care system.
- The increase in the use of dams for irrigation and power generation that multiply the breeding grounds of mosquitoes.
- Aumento de movilidad y transporte aéreo de carga, lo cual, multiplica las áreas de futuro contagio.
- The increase of immigrants refugees from areas endemic to those that are not.
- El calentamiento global que hace que áreas previamente no viables a los vectores ya sirvan de criaderos.
