Abstract

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), particularly those transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are a growing global health threat. Approximately 70% of the world's population is at risk of infection from dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses,1 with the burden rising sharply in recent years. This increasing risk is driven by a confluence of factors, including rapid and often unplanned urbanisation, climate change, and increasing interconnectedness through global travel and trade.
