This report examines environmental risks, specifically focusing on vector-borne diseases within the United Kingdom. It begins by defining environmental risk and introducing vector-borne diseases, including examples like dengue fever and Lyme disease, and differentiating them from zoonotic diseases. The report then applies the DPSIR framework to analyze the driving forces, pressures, state, exposure, and effects related to these diseases. It highlights the social, political, and economic impacts on affected populations. Furthermore, the report details legislative and regulatory measures at both federal and state levels, such as the Healthcare Quality Improvement Act, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program, designed to control and improve public health outcomes. The report emphasizes the role of health agencies and key stakeholders in addressing environmental risks and the importance of preventive measures.
