Abstract Background Mites, encompassing medically and veterinary important species, are significant vectors of various pathogens, thereby presenting substantial challenges to public health agriculture. Understanding their biology control is critical for managing associated risks economic burdens. Objectives To provide a comprehensive review the biology, ecology, strategies mites, with particular emphasis on role in disease transmission current management. Methods A systematic existing literature was conducted focusing mite ecological interactions, approaches. Strategies examined included chemical control, biological agents, integrated pest management (IPM), evaluation effectiveness limitations. Results Control mites increasingly compromised by development acaricide resistance. Environmental factors, especially climate change, significantly influence distribution population dynamics. While IPM agents offer promising alternatives, gaps remain understanding molecular basis resistance consequences environmental change mite-vector relationships. Conclusions Effective sustainable requires shift towards approaches that combine insights environmentally informed strategies. Future research should target mechanisms broader context mite-borne diseases inform policy intervention efforts.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted sandflies, is a major health issue in endemic regions. It presents as cutaneous leishmaniasis visceral leishmaniasis, with significant socioeconomic impacts. Effective diagnosis, treatment prevention remain limited. Methods: A literature review of 152 studies (1990–2023) was conducted across multiple academic databases to explore diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies efforts for leishmaniasis. Results: Innovative techniques, such polymerase chain reaction loop-mediated isothermal amplification, offer improved sensitivity. New treatments, including miltefosine liposomal amphotericin B, combination therapies address drug resistance. Vector control public interventions are key prevention, though challenges high costs resistance persist. Discussion: Advances show promise, but issues like the need affordable remain. Ongoing research into new targets accessible solutions vital combating
