传统上，流行病学家认为电气化是一个积极因素。事实上，电气化和管道是典型的举措，代表着将孤立的人口融入现代社会，确保控制病原体并促进公共卫生。尽管如此，电气化总是伴随着夜间照明，吸引昆虫媒介并改变人们的行为。尽管这可能导致新的感染模式和虫媒疾病传播的增加，但流行病学家很少在调查中考虑夜间照明的作用。我们回顾了有关照明在媒介传播疾病传播中的作用的流行病学证据，以鼓励其他研究人员在未来的研究中考虑它。我们提出了三种传染病媒传疾病恰加斯病，利什曼病和疟疾，并讨论了证据表明，使用人工照明的结果在人群中的行为变化和变化的流行病媒物种和传播方式。尽管令人惊讶地缺乏研究，但现有的证据支持我们的假设，即人工照明导致更高的病媒传染疾病感染风险。我们认为，这不仅与传统媒介对光源的简单吸引有关，而且与人类和昆虫行为的变化有关，这些变化导致了新的疾病传播模式。考虑到发展中国家夜间照明的不断扩大，迫切需要对这一问题进行更多的研究。
Traditionally, epidemiologists have considered electrification to be a positive factor. In fact, electrification and plumbing are typical initiatives that represent the integration of an isolated population into modern society, ensuring the control of pathogens and promoting public health. Nonetheless, electrification is always accompanied by night lighting that attracts insect vectors and changes people’s behavior. Although this may lead to new modes of infection and increased transmission of insect-borne diseases, epidemiologists rarely consider the role of night lighting in their surveys. We reviewed the epidemiological evidence concerning the role of lighting in the spread of vector-borne diseases to encourage other researchers to consider it in future studies. We present three infectious vector-borne diseases—Chagas, leishmaniasis, and malaria—and discuss evidence that suggests that the use of artificial lighting results in behavioral changes among human populations and changes in the prevalence of vector species and in the modes of transmission. Despite a surprising lack of studies, existing evidence supports our hypothesis that artificial lighting leads to a higher risk of infection from vector-borne diseases. We believe that this is related not only to the simple attraction of traditional vectors to light sources but also to changes in the behavior of both humans and insects that result in new modes of disease transmission. Considering the ongoing expansion of night lighting in developing countries, additional research on this subject is urgently needed.
