Symptoms, course and frequency information West Nile fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection from the group of arboviruses. In the literature, West Nile virus is classified as a group B arbovirus. The transmission cycle is mainly between birds and mosquitoes, with mosquitoes of the Culex type being the most important vectors. Humans and other vertebrates, often includingContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Arthropod-borne encephalitis is one of the most important virus-related diseases of the nervous system, in which transmission occurs via vectors such as mosquitoes or ticks. In the literature, these pathogens are mainly assigned to the Togaviridae, Flaviviridae and Bunyaviridae virus families. The worldwide spread of these infections makes it clear that they areContinue reading

Basics, transmission and frequency information Arboviruses form a large group of viruses that are mainly transmitted to humans or other hosts by arthropods. The literature describes them as a very extensive group of enveloped RNA viruses with several hundred representatives. Transmission takes placeContinue reading
