Examples of ecosystem restoration and its impact on vector-borne disease.

Vector	Restoration	Impact
Mosquito	Habitat modification and biological control	Reduction in mosquito larvae abundance (Rochlin et al., 2009)
Ticks (Ixodes scapularis)	Removal of weed species	Reduction in Lyme disease risk by 98% (Morlando et al., 2012)
Mosquito	Drainage of salt marsh to more natural state	Reduction in mosquito numbers (Jacups et al., 2012)
Ticks (Ixodes ricinus)	Restoration of peatlands	Reduction in abundance of ticks (Gilbert, 2013)
Ticks (Ixodes dammini)	Reforestation	Increase in incidence of Lyme disease (Barbour and Fish, 1993)
