Vector-borne diseases have a huge negative impact globally. WHO has proposed the concepts of “sustainable control” and “integrated management” to control vector organisms. It formally proposed the “Global Response to Vector Control 2017-2030” in 2017. Combining this concept with the One Health (OH) concept, China has proposed a scalable approach to ----- Four Pest-Free village, aiming to reduce the incidence of vector-borne diseases by reducing vector density through the use of environmentally friendly treatments, thereby reducing the incidence of vector-borne diseases and achieving human, animal and environmental health. The results of the study show that the “Four Pest-Free Village” has a significant effect on controlling vector populations, transforming the rural landscape, increasing the area of wetlands and reducing the incidence of vector-borne diseases.The response of Zhejiang Province's Four Pest-Free Village to vector-borne diseases, particularly mosquito-borne diseases, provides a proof of concept that a multisectoral effort involving community members with the concept of One Health and the GVCR as proposed by the WHO can be effective in responding to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases while also protecting the national economy and reducing national financial support for infectious diseases.
