Arbovirus

Arbovirus

Arboviruses, short for arthropod-borne viruses, constitute a diverse group of viruses transmitted primarily by arthropods, such as mosquitoes and ticks. This unique mode of transmission contributes to their widespread geographic distribution and significant impact on human and animal health. The arbovirus family encompasses various viral families, including Flaviviridae, Togaviridae, and Bunyaviridae. Dengue virus, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and chikungunya virus are prominent examples of arboviruses, each posing distinct public health challenges. Arboviruses typically maintain a natural transmission cycle between arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts, involving complex interactions that influence viral replication, evolution, and pathogenesis. Mosquitoes, in particular, serve as common vectors for many arboviruses, acquiring the virus during a blood meal from an infected host and subsequently transmitting it to new hosts. The ability of arboviruses to infect both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts adds an additional layer of complexity to their biology and epidemiology. Understanding the ecological factors influencing the prevalence and transmission of arboviruses is crucial for effective disease management and prevention. Climate, habitat, and human behavior significantly impact the dynamics of arboviral diseases. Ongoing research aims to unravel the intricate relationships between vectors, hosts, and the viruses they carry, paving the way for innovative strategies to mitigate the impact of arbovirus-related illnesses on global health.
