Infectivity, Disease Transmission and Pathogenesis of Arboviruses in Urban and Sub-Urban Areas of Eastern Uttar Pradesh

This review describes the disease transmission, infectivity, and pathogenesis caused by arboviruses in urban and suburban areas. These viruses cause severe morbidity and disease in the human population, affecting both urban and rural areas in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide. According to WHO surveillance reports, the infectivity and incidence of arboviral diseases are increasing at present, as climatic factors support the growth of vector populations, which have enhanced the frequency, magnitude, and geographical extent of these diseases. This is a challenging task to control the cases of fatal arboviral diseases in rural areas. Arbovirus-generated diseases pose a severe public health concern, as clinical and hospital care are not readily available in many parts of the world. Most of the deaths occur due to the unavailability of clinical care and proper medication. Arboviral diseases affect people all over the world, including in India, in a big way in terms of social, economic, and clinical consequences.
