Mosquitoes are one of the most important vectors of arboviruses. Common viruses transmitted by mosquitoes: dengue, zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and many others.

Examples of vector borne viral diseases (arboviruses)

Arboviruses are viruses continuously spread in nature through biological transmission  from arthropods to humans and animals.

Types of Vector Borne Diseases

Viruses are simple microorganisms that infect cells with the potential to cause disease. A virus particle, or virion, is made of RNA or DNA and an outer protein shell called a capsid. Viruses are dependent on an infected host cell in order to reproduce; they cannot reproduce by themselves.

These are diseases caused by bacteria and spread to humans by arthropods.

Vector borne bacterial diseases

These are diseases spread by parasitic arthropods.

Respiratory viruses are known as the major etiological agents of acute respiratory infections (ARIs).  They play a substantial role in morbidity and mortality all over the world.
Most typical respiratory viruses that circulate globally as endemic or epidemic agents are: influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza viruses, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, coronaviruses, adenoviruses, and bocaviruses.

Respiratory Viruses

The study of viruses and virus like agents. It deals heavily in their structure, classification, evolution, method of infection, effects of infection and how to cure or treat the infections.
