**6. Conclusions**

There is a regional emergence or re-emergence and expanding geographical distribution of vector-borne diseases in Central Africa, with an increased frequency of epidemic transmission. Central Africa is a hotspot of emergence or re-emergence disease. Impact of these diseases goes beyond animal mortality and mortality that seriously affects animal production and prevents poverty reduction to reach and threat human health. Reversing the trend of emergent/resurgent vector-borne diseases is very challenging. One Health-oriented collaborations among professionals working in diverse sectors such as animal health, human health, public health, entomology, and animal production will contribute to overcome the challenges faced by the sustainability of control of VBDs.
