摘要: Arthropod-borne viruses are becoming and increasing threat worldwide, especially in the New World, which has recently witnessed an unprecedented outburst of Arboviral outbreaks [1–4], such as recent ongoing chikungunya (CHIKV) [1] Zika (ZIKV) [2] epidemics throughout Pacific Americas. These emerging viral infections largely due to a number factors climate change [5–7], ever-increasing trends towards urbanization growing travel commercial exchange activities [8–12]; have led spillover these pathogens from their naturally occurring sylvatic niches reservoirs into susceptible urban settings newly unexposed geographic areas [13–16].
