IntroductIonArboviruses, ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses, are transmitted by blood-feeding arthropods to vertebrate hosts, including humans. 1 These viruses are primarily transmitted through the bite of infected arthropods during a blood meal.Mosquitoes, ticks, and some endemic flies, such as sandflies, are the main arthropod vectors.Based on the clinical features they produce, arboviruses are classified into three main categories: hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, and arthritis. 2Common arboviruses causing hemorrhagic fever include dengue, Kyasanur forest disease (KFD), yellow fever, and Omsk hemorrhagic fever.Those causing encephalitis include Japanese encephalitis (JE), West Nile encephalitis virus (WNV), equine encephalitis viruses, and Chandipura virus.Chikungunya virus and Zika virus (ZIKV) primarily cause arthritis.Globally, arboviral diseases are estimated to cause over one million deaths annually. 2These diseases are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions.The incidence of arboviral diseases has risen over the past two decades, likely due to factors such as
