TLDR
The arboviruses mentioned in this article deserve special attention concerning the establishment/consolidation of compulsory control programs and effective combat of diseases in humans and domestic animals.Abstract:
Arbovirus (Arthropod-borne virus) sao assim designados pelo fato de parte de seu ciclo de replicacao ocorrer nos insetos, podendo ser transmitidos aos seres humanos e outros animais pela picada de artropodes hematofagos. Dos mais de 545 especies de arbovirus conhecidos, cerca de 150 causam doencas em humanos. As arboviroses tem representado um grande desafio a saude publica, devido as mudancas climaticas e ambientais e aos desmatamentos que favorecem a amplificacao, a transmissao viral, alem da transposicao da barreira entre especies. Neste trabalho de revisao discorremos sobre as caracteristicas gerais, patogenia e epidemiologia dos arbovirus e das infeccoes resultantes, que tem emergido ou reemergido no Brasil nas ultimas decadas. Pela potencial ameaca que significam a saude humana no Brasil, os arbovirus mencionados neste trabalho merecem especial atencao no que refere ao estabelecimento/consolidacao de programas compulsorios de controle e combate eficazes das doencas em humanos e animais domesticos.read more

TL;DR: Since there is still uncertainty about the period of vulnerability of transmission via placenta, the use of repellents is crucial throughout pregnancy and more investigations studying the consequences of this viral infection on the body of newborns and in their development are required.

TL;DR: The investigation of this cluster documents the transmission of West Nile virus by organ transplantation and suggests organ recipients receiving immunosuppressive drugs may be at high risk for severe disease after West Nileirus infection.

Estimated risk of West Nile virus transmission through blood transfusion during an epidemic in Queens, New York City.
TL;DR: Human West Nile virus infection has been documented in the eastern United States since its discovery there in 1999 and epidemics of WNV encephalitis and meningitis raise concern that transmission of W NV may occur through voluntary blood donations.
