Abstract
Some societal factors pose challenges for applying recent scientific discoveries to more effectively control infectious diseases. These limitations are analysed with reference to dengue, malaria, tick-borne borreliosis and COVID-19, in order to promote better understanding and formulate mitigating measures. It is suggested that factors identified for the four diseases may be relevant to other infectious diseases as well
