Chikungunya e Dengue: tutta colpa di una zanzara. Epidemiologia, clinica e prevenzione vaccinale

Abstract

Arboviruses are zoonoses caused by viruses transmitted by many arthropod vectors, included mosquitoes. In Italy, Arboviruses can cause both imported and native infections, with different clinical manifestations. Therefore, they should always be considered in the differential diagnosis in case of both history of foreign travels and disease diffusion within the national territory. Among the strategies against Arbovirosis, communication and training should be kept in mind, in order to implement environmental and vaccination prophylaxis.
