Effective surveillance systems are essential for translating data into actionable public health measures. Spatial analysis and epidemiological investigations have been used to understand the distribution and ecological determinants of dengue, guiding public health programs and future research. Collaborative efforts, such as those seen in malaria control, can also be applied to dengue, emphasizing the importance of resource sharing, capacity building, and community involvement. However, challenges such as drug and insecticide resistance, social and cultural factors, and inadequate health infrastructure must be addressed to sustain progress (Benelli and Mehlhorn, 2016). 4.4 Lessons learned from the case studies The case studies of malaria, Zika, and dengue control efforts provide several key lessons (Osman and Preet, 2020). First, cross-border and international collaborations are vital for effective disease control, as seen in the successful malaria elimination efforts in the Ecuador-Peru border region. Second, rapid data sharing and robust data governance, exemplified by WWARN, are essential for managing outbreaks and informing treatment policies. Third, community participation and engagement are critical components of successful disease control programs, as demonstrated in various malaria control initiatives. Finally, addressing challenges such as funding, resistance, and infrastructure requires a comprehensive and integrated approach, involving both local and global stakeholders. These lessons highlight the importance of sustained investment, political support, and innovative strategies in the global fight against mosquito-borne diseases (Bogoch et al., 2016). 5 The Impact of Global Collaboration on Mosquito-Borne Disease Control 5.1 Enhanced surveillance and early warning systems Global collaboration has significantly improved surveillance and early warning systems for mosquito-borne diseases. Effective surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring disease spread and implementing timely interventions. For instance, integrated vector management (IVM) frameworks emphasize the importance of public awareness, advocacy, and legislation, which can be reinforced through collaboration within the health sector and with other sectors (Jones et al., 2020）. Additionally, spatial analysis techniques have been increasingly used to investigate the distribution and ecological determinants of mosquito-borne infections, supporting public health programs in Europe (Mshinda et al., 2004). These advancements highlight the role of global partnerships in enhancing surveillance capabilities and early warning systems (Bardosh et al., 2017). 5.2 Accelerated research and development of new interventions Global collaboration has also accelerated the research and development of new interventions for mosquito-borne diseases. Innovative mosquito control technologies, such as invasive transgene cassettes and low-cost housing design alterations, are currently under development to counteract the growing threat of diseases like dengue and chikungunya (Rund and Martinez, 2017). Furthermore, the use of the endosymbiotic Wolbachia in mosquitoes has shown promise in reducing the transmission of diseases by interfering with mosquito reproduction and increasing insecticide susceptibility. These advancements demonstrate the potential of global collaboration in driving the development of novel and effective interventions. 5.3 Improved public health outcomes The collaborative efforts in mosquito-borne disease control have led to improved public health outcomes. Intersectoral collaboration, a key element of IVM, has been shown to reduce vector densities and disease incidence, although more high-quality studies are needed to measure its full impact (Chan et al., 2020). Additionally, primary prevention measures, as emphasized by the World Health Organization's health emergency and disaster risk management framework, have been effective in reducing health risks associated with vector-borne diseases (Brugueras et al., 2020). These collaborative strategies have contributed to better health outcomes and reduced the burden of mosquito-borne diseases globally. 5.4 Case studies of successful interventions driven by collaboration Several case studies highlight the success of interventions driven by global collaboration.
