Mosquito-borne diseases remain a significant global public health challenge, requiring coordinated international collaboration to address. This study reviews the current state of research and data sharing in this field, emphasizing the critical role of global collaboration in advancing the understanding and control of these diseases. It explores the existing research efforts, the importance of data sharing, and the various challenges faced in establishing effective global networks, including issues related to data accessibility, privacy, and standardization. Through the analysis of key platforms and initiatives, such as international consortia, data repositories, and regional networks, the study highlights their contributions to enhancing collaboration. Case studies on malaria, dengue, and Zika are used to demonstrate the successes and ongoing challenges in global data sharing and response efforts. Finally, this study discusses strategies for overcoming existing barriers, the potential of emerging technologies, and the future of international collaboration in improving public health outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of sustained global collaboration and the need for robust frameworks to facilitate effective data sharing and research in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases.
