In recent years, climatic factors have made various mainly zoonotic and vector-borne agents, known as emerging or re-emerging agents, the most important causes of disease worldwide. Arboviruses are one of the most important groups. Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses), such as West Nile Virus (WNV), Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHF), Sand Fly Fever Virus (SFV) and Dengue Virus, are transmitted biologically among vertebrate hosts by blood-taking vectors, such as mosquito, tick, midge and sandfly arthropods [1,2].

Why Arboviruses Can Be Neglected Tropical Diseases
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases focuses its scope on the ‘‘neglected’’ communicable diseases of developing countries, diseases that do not receive attention from the developed world. The list of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is mainly comprised of helminths, protozoa, and many tropical bacterial species that currently do not receive sufficient priority in international public health progr...
متن کاملArboviral infections of the central nervous system--United States, 1996-1997.
Arboviruses include mosquitoborne and tickborne agents that persist in nature in complex cycles involving birds or mammals, including humans. Arboviral infection can cause fever, headache, meningitis, encephalitis, and sometimes death. During 1996-1997, health departments in 19 states reported to CDC 286 confirmed or probable cases (eight fatal) of arboviral encephalitis in humans (132 cases in...
متن کاملThe Neglected Arboviral Infections in Mainland China
The major arboviral diseases in mainland China include Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (also known as Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever), and tick-borne encephalitis. These and other newly found arbovirus infections due to Banna virus and Tahyna virus contribute to a large and relatively neglected disease burden in China. Here we briefly review the literature regar...
متن کاملNeuroinvasive arboviral disease in the United States: 2003 to 2012.
OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiologic and clinical syndromes associated with pediatric neuroinvasive arboviral infections among children in the United States from 2003 through 2012. METHODS We reviewed data reported by state health departments to ArboNET, the national arboviral surveillance system, for 2003 through 2012. Children (<18 years) with neuroinvasive arboviral infections (eg, meni...
متن کاملSyndromic Approach to Arboviral Diagnostics for Global Travelers as a Basis for Infectious Disease Surveillance
BACKGROUND Arboviruses have overlapping geographical distributions and can cause symptoms that coincide with more common infections. Therefore, arbovirus infections are often neglected by travel diagnostics. Here, we assessed the potential of syndrome-based approaches for diagnosis and surveillance of neglected arboviral diseases in returning travelers. METHOD To map the patients high at risk...
متن کاملThe potential role of Wolbachia in controlling the transmission of emerging human arboviral infections
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Wolbachia is a genus of Gram-negative intracellular bacteria that is naturally found in more than half of all arthropod species. These bacteria cannot only reduce the fitness and the reproductive capacities of arthropod vectors, but also increase their resistance to arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). This article reviews the evidence supporting a Wolbachia-based strategy f...
