Vector-borne and parasitic diseases are significant healthcare burden to many countries. The elimination of these infections has been the ultimate goal of every country. In fact, a number of parasitic infections are deemed close to complete eradication (i.e. dracunculiasis, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis). Nevertheless, doubts have been raised from time to time regarding the possibility of completely eradicating any of these infections. In addition, many parasitic infections are neglected diseases, resulting in inadequate understanding of these pathogens, hence the inability to control these pathogens, let alone a complete eradication. A thorough understanding of an infection is a prerequisite to the successful elimination of this infection. This conference aims at providing a platform for researchers from different parts of the world to share their knowledge on climate change and the trend of disease transmission, latest technologies in fundamental and translational research, economic issues and policies related to the control and prevention of parasitic and vector-borne diseases, planetary health/ one health, eco health, and big data/ geographic information system (GIS)/ artificial intelligence (AI). Hopefully, the interactions among researchers from different disciplines can catalyze generation of better ideas to control and prevent the diseases of interest.
