Vector borne diseases remain a major threat to human health and wellbeing, as an epidemiological group; inflict a terrible and unacceptable public health burden on human kind. The objective of this chapter seeks to review some vector borne diseases of blood origin based on their symptoms, medical laboratory diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The developed world has been fortunate to have escaped much of the terrible burden of mosquitoes and their arthropod allies inflict on humans in their countries. Endemics for diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, but the introduction of west Nile virus in the Western hemisphere demonstrated that we can no longer be complacent in the face of emerging and resurging vector borne disease. Unfortunately as the burden and threat of vector borne disease have increased, the International Public Health Institutions should increase their capacities to address them across the countries of the world especially with the use of integrated vector management (IVM) starting from Nigeria, Africa and other parts of the world.
