  abstract = {{V}ector management is a cornerstone in the fight against vector-borne pathogens. {H}owever, the impact on ecosystem functioning of reducing or eliminating arthropod vector populations remains poorly understood. {V}ectors are members of complex ecological communities, and recent studies suggest that their population suppression alters food web dynamics (bottom-up and top-down trophic cascades), inter- and intraspecific competition, and plant pollination. {O}ther possible overlooked roles are also proposed. {I}n this review, with examples from vectors of plant, animal, and human pathogens, we highlight that, although the ecological roles of most vector species might be redundant with other nonvector species, changes in vector abundance alter biotic interactions and, thus, are unlikely to be neutral in terms of ecosystem functioning.},
