Abstract

Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) pose an ongoing public health threat in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) of the World Health Organization. This review summarizes the epidemiology of major arboviruses - including Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), dengue virus (DENV), Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), West Nile virus (WNV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and Zika virus (ZIKV) in EMRO countries based on data from 2014-2023. Reported prevalence rates varied considerably between studies and countries, indicating localized transmission intensity. Overall, serological evidence confirms endemic circulation of CCHFV, CHIKV, DENV, and WNV in parts of the region. Large DENV outbreaks highlight it as a key concern. More systematic surveillance and standardized diagnostics are needed to characterize arbovirus epidemiology across the region and inform control strategies.

东地中海区域虫媒病毒流行病学综合审查：来自世卫组织区域办事处的见解。

虫媒病毒（节肢动物传播的病毒）对世界卫生组织东地中海区域（EMRO）的公共卫生构成持续威胁。本文综述了2014-2023年EMRO国家主要虫媒病毒的流行病学，包括克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒（CCHFV）、基孔肯雅病毒（CHIKV）、登革热病毒（DENV）、裂谷热病毒（RVFV）、西尼罗河病毒（WNV）、黄热病病毒（YFV）和寨卡病毒（ZIKV）。报告的流行率在不同研究和国家之间差异很大，表明局部传播强度。总体而言，血清学证据证实在该地区部分地区存在CCHFV、CHIKV、DENV和西尼罗河病毒的地方性流行。DENV的大规模暴发突出表明这是一个关键问题。需要更系统的监测和标准化诊断来确定整个地区虫媒病毒流行病学特征并为控制战略提供信息。
