Arboviruses constitute one of the most diverse groups of RNA viruses, transmitted mainly by hematophagous insects, especially mosquitoes belonging to the Aedes genus. In South America, Brazil is considered an epicenter for emerging and re-emerging arboviruses diseases since outbreaks or epidemics of DENV1-4, YFV, MAYV, ROCV, SLEV, OROV, CHIKV, and ZIKV have been reported. The spread of th…
In a global context COVID-19 is the biggest health threat in the present days, because, in just over four months, the SARS-CoV-2 has spread to 171 countries reaching a pandemic status. Most patients with COVID-19 have a mild course of the disease, however, approximately 20% develop severe disease with a high mortality rate that is associated with age, comorbidities, and immunosuppression.…

The control of viral dissemination in vectors is regulated by mechanisms of innate immunity, which are responsible for the tolerance of viral infection in these mosquitoes and, at the same time, the maintenance of homeostasis and vector fitness. Although several molecular mechanisms are involved in this phenomenon, many remain unknown, making it essential to study the processes that poten…

One of the most realistic epidemiological scenarios for the near future is the possible emergence of newly circulating viral lineages of great potential to become epidemically relevant. Although this concern was once again brought to light with the emergence of another sample of a pandemic coronavirus, in 2015 many historically neglected arboviruses also came to be the target of great att…
Since the first cases of arboviruses were reported in Brazil, the country has constantly suffered from epidemics of mosquito-borne diseases. The vector with the greatest importance for Brazilian public health is the mosquito of the Culicidae family, Aedes aegypti. This vector is responsible for the transmission of endemic arboviruses throughout the national territory, with emphasis on den…
Arboviruses, constituted by viruses of medical importance, their main representatives include mainly viruses belonging to the genus Flavivirus. It is noteworthy that in several tropical and subtropical countries, including Brazil, these viruses have emerged and represent one of the main public health problems because they cause constant epidemics and outbreaks such as the Dengue Virus (DE…

Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) are an ecological group of viruses transmitted mainly by hematophagous mosquitoes, involving complex cycles. Consisting of viruses of medical importance, their main representatives include mainly viruses belonging to the genus Flavivirus, Alphavirus and Orthobunyavirus. It is noteworthy that in several tropical and subtropical countries, including Bra…
