Vector-borne diseases in humans and animals: activities of the Swiss Tropical Institut and risks for Switzerland (Publications)
This overview presents the Swiss Tropical Institute's (STI) activities on vector-borne diseases (malaria, trypanosomosis, and leishmaniosis in humans and tick-borne diseases in livestock), describes the
