The Imperative of a Comprehensive One Health Approach for Mosquito-Borne Disease Control in Indonesia

This review provides information on the importance of a comprehensive one-health approach for controlling mosquito-borne diseases in Indonesia. Despite the use of various control methods, Indonesia still faces numerous challenges and threats to its public health. The One Health paradigm offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the complexity of mosquito-borne diseases in Indonesia. Understanding the linkages between human, animal, and environmental health enables a deeper understanding of disease dynamics and facilitates the development of comprehensive strategies for disease prevention, control, and eradication. Important points that must be implemented immediately and receive attention from policymakers include strengthening vector surveillance and monitoring systems, strengthening vector control strategies in various sectors, increasing human health and behavioral capacity, effective communication and collaboration, and increasing infrastructure capacity and resource allocation. The sooner these issues are resolved, the more likely the goal of a mosquito-borne disease-free Indonesia can be achieved.
