Abstract :

Arthropods like mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, and biting midges are some of the major vectors of arboviruses -arthropod-borne viruses that pose a threat to the health of both animals and humans across the globe. Members of Flaviviridae, Togaviridae, and Bunyaviridae are these viruses that pose a challenge to get rid of due to their complex life cycle that includes arthropods and vertebrate hosts. The spread of diseases due to climate change, globalization, and animal and human movement has caused the number of diseases to rise, including dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, Rift Valley fever, and bluetongue. Arboviral infections lead to huge economic losses, due to lowered productivity, reproductive impairments, death, and trade limitations in animals, and to serious illness, long-term disability, and healthcare strains in humans. Integrated efforts such as the control of vectors, vaccination, better housing, personal protection, and effective surveillance systems are essential in effective prevention. A One Health strategy that brings together human, animal, and environmental health sectors is the most sustainable and coordinated approach to reducing the burden on arboviral epidemics, protecting human health, and achieving food security in the world.
