Abstract

Arboviruses, including Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and West Nile virus, are a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. These viruses are primarily transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks, leading to various clinical manifestations ranging from mild febrile illness to severe neurological and congenital complications. This article provides an in-depth overview of the transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these arboviral infections. The focus is on Zika virus, which gained global attention due to its association with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Effective management of arboviral diseases relies on a combination of vector control, public health measures, accurate diagnosis, and supportive care. Continued research and surveillance are essential to address the evolving challenges posed by these viruses and to mitigate their impact on global health.
