474 Health A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (World Health Organization 1948, p.1). Introduced species Species that have been intentionally or unintentionally intro- duced outside their native distribution range. The introduction can be human- mediated (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Invasive species Introduced species that affect the abiotic or biotic environment, the economy or human health in their exotic range (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Integrated vector management Management approach aiming at the optimal use of available vector control tools in terms of efficacy, cost-effectiveness, ecologi- cal soundness and sustainability (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Mental health A state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and is able to make a contribution to his or her community (World Health Organization 2016). Mental well-being The psychological, cognitive and emotional quality of a per- son’s life. This includes the thoughts and feelings that individuals have about the state of their life, and a person’s experience of happiness (Linton et  al. 2016, p.12). Nature-based climate change adaptation Nature-based actions that preserve eco- system services, which  are necessary for human life in the face of climate change and reduce the impact of anticipated negative effects of climate change (e.g. more intense rainfall, more frequent floods, as well as heat waves and droughts) (Naumann et  al. 2014). Physical health The body’s ability to function. It has many components, such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, weight management and intake of alcohol and drugs (Owen 2013). Physical well-being The quality and performance of bodily functioning. This includes having the energy to live well, the capacity to sense the external envi- ronment, and our experiences of pain and comfort (Linton et  al. 2016, p.12). (Re-) emerging infectious diseases Newly emerged or associated pathogens that have gained renewed virulence due to other emerging or chronic diseases or the spread of antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal medication resistance (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Reservoir host A human or animal that is infected by the pathogen and does not experience disease. From the reservoir host, the maintained pathogen is transmit- ted to the definite host population (Müller et  al. Chap. 4, this volume). Social well-being How well an individual is connected to others in their local and wider social community. This includes social interactions, the depth of key rela- tionships and the availability of social support (Linton et  al. 2016, p.12). Spiritual well-being A connection to something greater than oneself, and in some cases faith in a higher power (Linton et  al. 2016, p.12). Species richness The number of different species (Marselle et  al. Chap. 9; Cook et  al. Chap. 11, this volume). Glossary
