Epidemiological Observations on Arboviruses Infection

For years ago, the scientific research has been focusing on the most critical Arboviruses that have a significant impact on human health such as Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue Virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), Yellow Fever Virus (YFV), Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) and West Nile Virus (WNV). The warm tropical and subtropical regions of the world represent the preferred environment of the mosquitos, the primary vector of Arbovirus transmission. Distribution of Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus in the terrestrial habitat leads to the transmission of these viruses creating significant practical difficulties in controlling and diagnosing of arboviruses infections. The mosquito species are able to transmit a combination of these viruses simultaneously. Thus, the epidemiological studies are required to elucidate the transmission and infection complications of Arboviruses at the endemic areas of these viruses.
