consensusthatweneedtobetterunderstandpathogen-vectorinteractionsthatdeter-
mine the ability of vectors to transmit diseases and utilize those knowledge for
developingnoveltoolsandstrategieswiththepotentialtoleadtosustainabledisease
control. One of the most promising areas is microbial control of vector-borne
diseasesasaddressedbythisbook.
Likevertebratehosts,insectvectorshaveclosecontactswithmicrobesinnature.
Some microbes form intimate relationships with vectors and play essential roles for
vectorsurvival,reproduction,ordevelopment;somejuststaytogetherwithvectorsas
guests; and others infect vectors as pathogens, reduce insect fitness, and even kill
them. All of the abovementioned three types of microbe-vector relationship can be
utilizedforvectorcontrolreduceinsectfitnessasintroducedindifferentchaptersof
thisbook.Themoststraightforwardapproachtodevelopmicrobialcontrolofvector-
bornediseaseistokilldirectlythevectorsortheiroffspringtoreducethequantityof
pests. Alternatively, efforts can be developed to reduce the quality of an insect to
serve as a vector for human pathogens. It is worthy to note that those human path-
ogens transmitted by vectors are not harmful to vectors in most situations. After
encountering vectors and becoming their guests, they complete replication, devel-
opment, or both, inside the body of the insect, to prepare for their next journey in
humans. In order for an insect to be able to transmit a specific human pathogen, its
physiological environment and behavior have to match perfectly to the pathogen’s
requirements.Thisprovidesanopportunityfortheothermicrobestoperturborfinely
adjusttothisenvironment,eithernaturallyorartificially,suchthatinsectsarenolong
hospitable forpathogens or incapable formovingpathogens tohuman. Toa certain
degree, such modification of the insect’s physiological microenvironment to break
thelinkagebetweenvectorsandpathogensissimilartothetraditionalenvironmental
managementforvector-bornediseasecontrolbypreventingcontactbetweenvectors
and human. Thus, microbial control of vector-borne disease can be accomplished
by either reducing vector density or the ability of vectors in transmitting human
pathogens.
