The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the strength of evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on these arboviruses and pregnancy outcomes. PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception to December 31, 2025 were searched. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality using AMSTAR 2. Evidence credibility was graded as high, moderate, or weak based on precision, consistency, and small-study effects. Nine meta-analyses were included (five on ZIKV, three on DENV, one on CHIKV). AMSTAR 2 ratings were high (n = 5) and low (n = 4), with lack of protocol registration as the main flaw. High credibility evidence linked maternal ZIKV infection to microcephaly (including severe cases > 3SD) and corpus callosum anomalies. Moderate credibility supported ZIKV associations with decreased brain volume, ventriculomegaly, and other neuroimaging abnormalities, and DENV associations with preterm birth, low birth weight, miscarriage, stillbirth, and postpartum haemorrhage. Prevalence estimates for small for gestational age (ZIKV) had high credibility, and intracranial calcifications and joint abnormalities (ZIKV), small for gestational age and stillbirth (DENV), and intrapartum mother-to-child transmission and symptomatic neonatal infection (CHIKV) had moderate credibility. Most other associations were weak. Strong evidence confirms ZIKV causes severe congenital malformations. DENV shows moderate associations with major adverse outcomes, while evidence for CHIKV remains limited at the meta-analytic level despite emerging primary data. Improved methodological rigour and surveillance are needed to protect maternal and child health.

This study, therefore, analyzes what has been done so far, by whom, and under what conditions. Who has benefited, and where is there an urgent need for further research? An advanced strategy with chronological, geographical, and socio-economic patterns was applied to answer these questions. A total of 1758 publications and 137 clinical studies were identified.

The Global South is exemplified by South American nations like Brazil, which is actively developing its vaccine, as well as by Southeast Asian countries such as India, which is also pursuing the development of its vaccine. Africa is not represented in the research, although there is evidence of virus circulation and a potentially underestimated disease burden. Financial support comes mainly from government agencies, except in France and Japan, where industry sets the research framework.

Emerging evidence shows that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) acts as a key factor in the pathogenesis of this idiopathic interstitial lung disease by connecting long-lasting epithelial damage to fibroblast accumulation and fibrotic processes. Viral pathogens, particularly emerging and re-emerging viruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Influenza Virus, and Dengue Virus (DENV) and also those with oncogenic potential such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), have been demonstrated to be significantly associated with impaired epithelial signalling, persistent inflammation, and EMT induction. This underscores the presence of potential mechanistic overlap between viral infections and fibrotic complications of the respiratory system. On the other hand, investigations have also suggested the capacity of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) agents to modulate various EMT-linked pathways, which are simultaneously involved in both viral infections and IPF development. These common signalling pathways include TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/AKT, and NF-κB signalling, acting as potential therapeutic targets against fibrotic complications such as IPF. The present review aims to comprehensively describe current evidence on the dynamic cross-talk between viral pathogens, particularly SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Virus, and DENV, EMT, and lung fibrosis.

Several factors contribute to the pathogenesis of dengue fever, including the immune system and the virulence of different serotypes. Additionally, multiple complex conditions, including the spread of the Aedes mosquito vector and meteorological factors, contribute to the disease's spread. Therefore, effective disease management must be comprehensive, involving strategic combinations including community engagement, mosquito control, and public health measures. This approach has been implemented in Burkina Faso, with some success. Although several studies have focused on viral control, the isolation of virus serotypes, the prevalence and seroprevalence of the disease in specific populations, information on the overall burden of dengue fever is scarce in the country, as it presents classic symptoms similar to those of malaria and some arbovirus diseases encountered in the country. However, limited access to diagnostic tools, an inadequate surveillance system, a lack of awareness among healthcare workers, auto-medication, and ongoing conflicts in the country may lead to an underestimation of its burden and a limited understanding of its epidemiology.

We identify and dissect several substantive gaps in the current narrative. Firstly, we challenge the prevailing yet often circumstantial evidence for direct viral infection of bone cells, arguing for the need to distinguish between productive infection and passive viral presence. Secondly, we call for a more nuanced deconstruction of the \"cytokine storm\" hypothesis, urging the identification of master regulators and a clearer delineation between viral persistence and virally-induced autoimmunity in driving chronic pathology, such as post-CHIKV arthritis. Furthermore, we emphasise the critical need for longitudinal studies to define the long-term trajectory of bone health post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, distinguishing transient from permanent metabolic defects.

CMV exhibits marked neurotropism, and infection of the central nervous system (CNS) can result in a broad spectrum of neurological manifestations, including encephalitis, cognitive impairment, and developmental anomalies such as microcephaly, cerebral palsy, and sensorineural hearing loss. Though the clinical importance of CMV on the nervous system is well known and studied, the molecular mechanisms underlying CMV neuropathogenesis remain incompletely understood. In this review we present current knowledge on CMV infection of the CNS, highlighting the viral and host determinants that influence neurotropism, latency, immune evasion, and neural injury. We discuss important molecular pathways involved in viral entry, replication, and host immune modulation that contribute to CNS pathology. The article summarises recent insights from in vitro and in vivo models elucidating how CMV interacts with cells of CNS to disrupt neurodevelopment and brain homoeostasis. Furthermore, we review the neurological manifestations of CMV with emphasis on long term neurological sequelae of congenital and acquired CMV infection, as well as characteristic radiological findings associated with CMV neuroinfection. Understanding the complex interplay between CMV and the host nervous system is essential for identifying therapeutic targets and developing effective preventive strategies.
