摘要：
Vector-borne diseases stand out as major concerns for military deployments. Of particular concern are malaria, arboviral diseases and, more recently, leishmaniasis. Vaccine preventable diseases also remain important globally. Other common problems, for example diarrhoeal disease and non-infectious hazards, such as trauma, also need to be addressed.
