Abstract
Arboviruses are a large group of RNA-coated viruses, primarily transmitted by vectors from the arthropod strain. This group of viruses derives its name from the English Arthropode Borne Viruses.
Representatives of the arbovirus cause a disease termed zoonosis. Their vectors (carriers) are mostly different types of mosquitoes and ticks.
The reservoir of the disease is birds, small mammals and some ruminants living in a close ecological relationship with humans and parasitic arthropods. Arbiotic infections occur most often under the image of meningitis, febrile illness associated with rash or haemorrhagic fever.
Hygienic-epidemiological measures that reduce the risk of contact with vectors are important. There are vaccines against some zoonoses, not only human but also veterinary.
