Arboviral diseases: danger, challenges and prevention
Arboviral diseases are infectious diseases transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. Such diseases are naturally focal and can cover large areas. They can be caused by various viruses such as West Nile virus, dengue virus, Yellow fever virus and others.
Symptoms of arbovirus diseases can range from mild to severe, including high fever, headache, rash, severe muscle and joint pain, and damage to the nervous system. Some of these diseases can be fatal.
Most cases of arboviral diseases occur in tropical and subtropical regions where insect vectors are most active. However, with climate change and increased global tourism, these diseases may spread to other regions.
Currently, there is no specific treatment for most arboviral diseases, so prevention is the key to controlling these diseases. Some preventive measures include using repellents, wearing protective clothing, eliminating mosquito and other insect vectors, and getting vaccinated if appropriate vaccines are available.
Prevention of arboviral diseases is not only a personal responsibility, but also a public one. States can use various measures to prevent the spread of these diseases, such as controlling mosquito populations, monitoring the epidemiological situation, and improving the health system.
Thus, arboviral diseases pose a serious threat to human and animal health and require constant monitoring and prevention. By following prevention guidelines, everyone can help prevent the spread of these infectious diseases.
The arboviral complex is a group of diseases that appear due to the action of arboviruses, the main mode of transmission of which is many species of blood-sucking arthropods. The peculiarity of the disease is that it is mainly transmitted by exotic species of mosquitoes. The nature of the disease is diverse; arbovirus affects humans and animals.
Characteristics and method of infection Infection is mainly transmitted through the bite of warm-blooded animals or humans by insects. In some cases, the air may be the carrier of the virus. From the group of viruses according to the type of pathogen, the following groups are common:
Virus deficiency group (62 percent) – hepatitis C infection,
