Abstract
[Extract] Arthropod-borne diseases are endemic in many regions of the world with insect habitat expanding due to global temperature changes. Enormous amounts of money have been invested for decades in research and development of vector control and personal protection measures, yet, despite small successes, millions around the world still suffer or die from vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, Zika, chikungunya and many more. Consequently, travellers, scientists, missionaries, expats, and military personnel leaving for such destinations are at risk of infection and often diagnosed on return. The reason for infection rests on the shortcomings of the two main control measures: 1) vector control, and 2) personal protection. Table 1 presents a small sample of such shortcomings from a long list presented elsewhere.
