        abstract = {Background: Vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya remain significant public health challenges in many tropical and subtropical regions. Despite advancements in conventional vector control and vaccination strategies, limitations in accessibility, affordability, and sustainability have led to increasing interest in integrative approaches, including homoeopathy.
Objective: This review aims to evaluate the preventive role of homoeopathic remedies in the management of vector-borne diseases, focusing on dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. It explores homoeopathic philosophy, disease-specific remedies, field experiences, and the evidence base supporting homoeoprophylaxis.
Methods: An extensive literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed journals, government publications, classical homoeopathic texts, and data from organisations. Emphasis was placed on studies reporting community-level interventions, genus epidemicus applications, and homoeoprophylactic outcomes.
Results: Homoeopathic remedies such as Eupatorium perfoliatum, China officinalis, Rhus toxicodendron, and Gelsemium sempervirens have shown potential as preventive agents during outbreaks. Several observational studies and public health initiatives have reported reduced incidence of vector-borne diseases in areas where homoeopathic prophylaxis was implemented. However, a lack of large-scale randomised controlled trials limits definitive conclusions.
Conclusion: Homoeopathy offers a promising, safe, and cost-effective adjunct in the prevention of vector-borne diseases. While preliminary evidence supports its community-based application, further well-designed clinical trials are required to validate its effectiveness and facilitate broader integration into public health systems.},
