A Qualitative Analysis of the Perceptions of Stakeholders Involved in Vector Control and Vector-Borne Disease Research and Surveillance in Orinoquia, Colombia.

Colombia has a tropical climate and environmental conditions that favour the circulation of most of the known vector-borne diseases (VBDs).

Almost the entire population is vulnerable to infection with one or more VBD.
