Narrative review reveals the global spread and resurgence of mosquito- and tick-borne arboviruses, highlighting critical vulnerabilities in worldwide epidemic control.

Key Points

To review medically important arboviruses and evaluate the factors driving their global geographic expansion and resurgence at the start of the twenty-first century.
Cataloged and examined epidemiological records of recognized arboviral pathogens capable of causing human disease.
Analyzed case studies of emerging and resurging vector-borne pathogens, including West Nile virus, across global ecological settings.
Identified that among more than 534 cataloged arboviruses, approximately 134 cause disease in humans, primarily transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.
Observed widespread resurgence and geographical expansion of previously controlled arboviruses driven by modern transportation, demographic shifts, and ecological disruption.
