ABSTRACT
The impact of unabated population growth and consequent ecological changes is felt in the spread of vector-borne diseases also. Filariasis, once considered to be more associated with urban areas and urbanization, is rapidly emerging as a major problem in rural areas. The need to delimit the endemic areas through a new rapid assessment procedure and the possible control methods of rural filariasis are discussed. Leishmaniasis has re-emerged with a vengeance in some parts of the country and the reasons for this are analyzed. Babesiosis, though zoonotic, has the potential to invade the domain of man in India.
