Studies related to vector-borne diseases in both domestic and wild have seen significant advancements in their understanding, influence, and management. These diseases, once confined to specific regions or animal populations, have seen their distribution and behavior altered due to climate change and human activities. Additionally, some of these diseases now pose zoonotic risks, with the potential for direct transmission between animals and humans. The effects of globalization and transportation have also played a role in surpassing traditional territorial boundaries for certain vector-borne diseases. The economic repercussions of these diseases are noteworthy, encompassing direct veterinary care costs, losses in livestock productivity, and expenses related to disease control measures. The main aim of this Research Topic is to address these diseases through a comprehensive approach that includes surveillance, vector control methods, vaccination strategies, and public awareness initiatives. Despite advancements in managing specific diseases, new challenges emerge due to globalization and climate change, highlighting the need for continuous research and adaptable control measures. It is strongly recommended to enhance epidemiological surveillance and research the factors influencing vector abundance and distribution, as these can aid in predicting disease outbreaks and designing effective control strategies
