title: [Arbovirus infections. From virus, mosquitoes, animals and humans].
abstract: Arboviruses occur throughout the world in plants and animals: reptiles, birds and mammals including man. These relatively recent RNA-containing viruses have great evolutionary potential and are a major cause of epidemics. Arboviruses exhibit a dual life cycle involving continual transmission to and from the vertebrate host and arthropod vector which ingests or inoculates the agent during blood meals. Agents belong to many different viral families and represent an important source of emerging diseases. Because of the mode of transmission is vectorial, spread can enhanced by man-made changes in the ecosystem. This risk is often underestimated. The population explosion provides a great opportunity for the progression of these arboviruses.
