Summary

Arboviral diseases, caused by viruses spread by arthropods like mosquitoes and ticks, are a growing global health concern. Resurgent and spreading old diseases, alongside new ones, pose significant public health challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Arboviral diseases represent a significant emerging infectious disease challenge globally.
  • Over 134 arboviruses are known to cause human disease, primarily transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.
  • Recent decades show a resurgence and geographic spread of previously controlled arboviral diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of medically important arboviruses.
  • To discuss specific arboviruses as case studies.
  • To highlight the public health implications of arboviral disease spread.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of arboviral diseases.
  • Analysis of disease transmission dynamics.
  • Case study selection of prominent arboviruses.

Main Results:

  • Catalog includes over 534 arboviruses, with 134 causing human disease.
  • Global changes facilitate arbovirus emergence and spread to new regions.
  • West Nile virus exemplifies the invasion of exotic arboviruses.

Conclusions:

  • Arboviruses pose a tenuous public health position in the 21st century.
  • Understanding transmission and spread is crucial for control.
  • Continued surveillance and research are necessary to address this threat.
