| description | <p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d1449981e127">Livestock husbandry provides people with a means of generating revenue and sustenance.
However, this activity influences the dispersal of mosquitoes and the diseases that
they transmit. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining the effects of livestock
husbandry on mosquito population density and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases
(MBDs), to raise public awareness of how to protect against MBDs. To accomplish these
objectives, we gathered relevant material by searching pertinent databases and extracting
relevant data. Overall, we found that livestock husbandry can have both positive and
negative effects on MBD occurrence. Furthermore, cattle husbandry increases mosquito
populations, and pigs, horses, dogs, and cats can serve as sentinel animals for arboviruses.
Implementing strategies such as administering endectocides to cattle and relocating
large animals away from residential areas can safeguard against MBDs. Our research
suggested that the One Health approach is essential for effectively managing and controlling
MBDs. Moreover, offering comprehensive public education regarding potential zoonotic
disease hazards associated with livestock husbandry is crucial in both rural and urban
areas.
