Abstract:
The burden of vector-borne diseases refers to the loss and impact of healthy life and social economy due to disability and early death caused by vector-borne diseases, including economic burden and family burden. Disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a comprehensive measure of the burden of disease. The economic burden of disease is classified into direct economic burden, indirect economic burden and intangible economic burden. Currently, the estimates of direct economic burdens include micro-cost and macro-cost models, and the estimates of indirecteconomic burdens include human resources and friction cost methods, while the intangible economic burden is generally estimated by willingness to pay. The currently available health economics approaches mainly include cost-utility analysis, cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. This review summarizes the approaches for estimating the burden of malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
