A brief review of the arboviruses isolated In Italy is presented and discussed. Some of the Arboviruses considered in this paper are endemic in the country and are transmitted by arthropods that play actually a role of vectors, (sand flyes, hard ticks and mosquitoes); other arboviruses, sporadically isolated, are potential agents of emerging human or zoonotic diseases.
本文对在意大利分离出的虫媒病毒进行了简要回顾并展开讨论。本文所考虑的一些虫媒病毒在该国为地方性流行,由实际上起到媒介作用的节肢动物传播(白蛉、硬蜱和蚊子);其他偶尔分离出的虫媒病毒则是新出现的人类疾病或人畜共患病的潜在病原体。
