Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) mainly infect people via direct spillover from enzootic cycles. However, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses have repeatedly initiated urban transmission cycles involving human amplification and peridomestic mosquito vectors to cause major epidemics. Here, I review these urban emergences and potential strategies for their prevention and control.
虫媒病毒(arboviruses)主要通过从动物媒介疾病循环中的直接溢出感染人类。然而,登革热、基孔肯雅热和黄热病病毒已多次引发涉及人类传播和家周围媒介蚊虫的城市传播循环,导致重大疫情。在此,我回顾了这些城市疫情的出现以及潜在的预防和控制策略。
