除非采取更有效的行动解决各种根本原因，否则预计病媒传播疾病卷土重来的惊人趋势将继续下去。社会因素、人为环境改变和/或生态变化似乎是主要驱动因素。病媒传播疾病研究和管理的生态层面是一个普遍的因素，因为这个问题本质上是一个具有生物物理、社会和经济层面的生态问题。然而，对于生态层面、生态学领域（例如作用、限制）以及与生态系统健康方法相关的相关概念，往往缺乏明确的认识。生态视角可以为干预措施的适当性提供前瞻性，为意外的病媒控制反应提供答案，并有助于在不断变化的环境中提供有效的管理解决方案。本文的目的是探讨病媒传播疾病的生态层面，并进一步明确“生态思维”在病媒控制活动的制定和实施中的作用（即对病媒传播疾病采取生态系统方法）。
Alarming trends in the resurgence of vector-borne diseases are anticipated to continue unless more effective action is taken to address the variety of underlying causes. Social factors, anthropogenic environmental modifications and/or ecological changes appear to be the primary drivers. The ecological dimension of vector-borne disease research and management is a pervasive element because this issue is essentially an ecological problem with biophysical, social, and economic dimensions. However there is often a lack of clarity about the ecological dimension, the field of ecology (e.g. role, limitations), and related concepts pertinent to ecosystem approaches to health. An ecological perspective can provide foresight into the appropriateness of interventions, provide answers to unexpected vector control responses, and contribute to effective management solutions in an ever-changing environment. The aim of this paper is to explore the ecological dimension of vector-borne diseases and to provide further clarity about the role of "ecological thinking" in the development and implementation of vector control activities (i.e. ecosystem approaches to vectorborne diseases).
