Chapter 25, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction
Todetermine:
The reason why humans considered “dead-end” hosts for many arboviruses.
Introduction:
Arboviruses are “arthropod-borne” viruses. All human arboviruses are zoonotic, they are transmitted from their usual animal hosts to humans. Arbovirus requires vector to cause lifelong infections. Mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks, and other blood sucking arthropods are common vectors for arbovirus. Humans are the accidental host for arboviruses.
