Article Abstract
Arboviruses are viruses transmitted to humans and/or animals by hematophagous arthropods. They have a significant economic and public health impact. Given the number of arboviruses already identified and their great genetic variability, it is essential to have highly flexible tools for their monitoring. Arbovirus circulation within animal populations can be demonstrated by direct and/or indirect screening of a specific virus within vertebrate hosts and/or arthropod vectors. Viruses have great adaptive capacities that enable them to emerge into new geographic areas and/or cross species barriers. Over the decades, arbovirus monitoring has considerably evolved due to innovations in detection technologies. The objectives of this review are to list and assess (i) the current tools for direct or indirect screening for arboviruses, (ii) the new generation tools that best meet expectations in terms of optimal arbovirus monitoring and (iii) the potentials for improved arbovirus monitoring.

Background (Skuse, 1894) and (Linnaeus, 1762) (Diptera: Culicidae) are invasive species in the Hawaiian Islands as well as other islands of the Pacific and serve as the primary vectors of arboviruses like dengue virus. Despite its significance to public health, data on their insecticide resistance remains limited. Knowledge of the level of insecticide resistance is critical in developing effective mosquito control strategies, especially when an arboviral disease outbreak occurs.

The annual meeting of the French GTI (Transplantation and Infection Group) focused on donor-derived infections (DDIs) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Given the ongoing organ shortage, rigorous donor screening is essential to detect potential infectious risks. Donor evaluation should include medical history, travel, vaccination status, serologies, and exposures.

This study aimed to assess the emergence and/or re-emergence of Tick-borne Diseases (TBD) in Portugal by linking the hemoparasite burden in companion animals to vector-borne disease dynamics through a One Health approach. Between 2015 and 2024, 1169 clinically suspected animals with hemoparasite infections, treated at the Hospital Veterinário de Santarém (HVS), underwent serological confirmation for , , spp., and spp.

The black-tufted marmoset (), commonly found in urban areas of Central Brazil, is vulnerable to pathogen spillover from domestic animals and humans. Here, we report an outbreak of natural canine distemper virus (CDV) infection among urbanized free-ranging black-tufted marmosets. Five fatalities occurred in marmosets living in a neighborhood with unvaccinated dogs.
