We reviewed the literature on the role of temperature in transmission of zoonotic
arboviruses. Vector competence is affected by both direct and indirect effects of temperature …

Highlights•Temperature plays an important role in successful arbovirus transmission.•The
role of temperature in vector competence and disease transmission is unclear.•Temperature …

Thermal biology predicts that vector-borne disease transmission peaks at intermediate
temperatures and declines at high and low temperatures. However, thermal optima and …

Mosquito-borne diseases having the greatest impact on human health are typically
prevalent in the tropical belt of the world. However, these diseases are conquering …

Arboviruses represent a significant burden to public health and local economies due to their
ability to cause unpredictable and widespread epidemics. To maximize early detection of …

Arboviruses are transmitted between arthropod vectors and vertebrate host. Arboviral
infection in mosquitoes is initiated when a mosquito feeds on a viremic host. Following …

Arboviruses are emerging/reemerging infectious agents worldwide. The factors within this
scenario include vector and host population fluctuations, climatic changes, anthropogenic …

ABSTRACT RNA viruses include respiratory viruses, such as coronaviruses and influenza
viruses, as well as vector-borne viruses, like dengue and West Nile virus. RNA viruses like …

Vertebrates are one of three components that are necessary for transmission of an arthropod-
borne virus (arbovirus); the three essential parts are the vertebrate host, the virus, and the …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are maintained in nature by cycling between
vertebrate hosts and haematophagous invertebrate vectors. These viruses are responsible …
