At least seven VBDs of public health concern are prevalent in Egypt, including schistosomiasis, fascioliasis, lymphatic filariasis, leishmaniasis, malaria, dengue, and Rift Valley fever. Although many of these diseases are preventable by using evidence-based protective measures, VBD expansion patterns over the past few decades pose a significant challenge for modern parasitology and tropical medicine. In their action plan, Egypt did not identify populations at risk of VBDs. Egypt intends to improve its regional and international communication to identify pathogens and infections and develop \u201cOne Health\u201d- compliant preparedness and prevention strategies. However, cross-border collaborations are required for the control of VBDs. In this context, we provide a situational analysis and comprehensive review of the epidemiological data on Egypt\u2019s most prevalent VBDs based on an exhaustive search of the major electronic databases and literature from 1950 to 2019. We identified the gaps in Egypt\u2019s preparedness for vector-borne disease threats, including adaptation documents, surveillance and monitoring, environmental management, and preparations for the health system. There is a lack of implementation of an integrated vector management strategy that integrates chemical, environmental, and biological control as well as health education. This necessitates cross-sectoral coordination and community involvement to improve vector control activities and the use, storage, and disposal of pesticides.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-9062.321759","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,28]],"date-time":"2024-05-28T15:18:27Z","timestamp":1716909507000},"page":"127-138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Vector-Borne diseases in Egypt"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Safaa M","family":"Eassa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ekram W","family":"Abd El-Wahab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"769","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1705.110310","article-title":"Vector-borne infections","volume":"17","author":"Rosenberg","year":"2011","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"R4-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1590\/0037-8682-0189-2013","article-title":"Leishmaniasis transmission: distribution and coarse-resolution ecology of two vectors and two parasites in Egypt","volume":"47","author":"Samy","year":"2014","journal-title":"Rev Soc Bras Med Trop"},{"key":"R5-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"346","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2010.0241","article-title":"Molecular detection of spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ixodid ticks in Egypt","volume":"12","author":"Abdel-Shafy","year":"2012","journal-title":"Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis"},{"key":"R7-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"645","DOI":"10.21608\/jesp.2018.76583","article-title":"Malaria situation in Egypt the last three years: A retrospective study in an Egyptian fever hospital","volume":"48","author":"Al-Agroudi","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Egypt Soc Parasitol"},{"key":"R8-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jksus.2009.12.003","article-title":"Fascioliasis prevalences among animals and human in Upper Egypt","volume":"22","author":"Hussein","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of King Saud University-Science"},{"key":"R11-3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0030","article-title":"2015.
