Because the arboviruses require an arthropod to pass them along to humans, the most common times of year for these illnesses include summer and fall, when mosquitoes and ticks are most prevalent.

hi hi hi hi hi who heared about the tanga virus and has some info on it?
A filterable, ether-sensitive virus was isolated from Anopheles funestus caught in Tanga Province, Tanzania, in 1962. It is unrelated serologically to 43 arboviruses known to occur in Africa and has been named Tanga virus. Antibodies have been found in the sera of East African residents.

What is zika virus?
In January 2016, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued travel guidance on affected countries, including the use of enhanced precautions, and guidelines for pregnant women including considering postponing travel. Other governments or health agencies also issued similar travel warnings, while Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Jamaica advised women to postpone getting pregnant until more is known about the risks. A transmission is the vertebrate hosts of the virus were primarily monkeys in a so-called enzootic mosquito-monkey-mosquito cycle, with only occasional transmission to humans. Before the current pandemic began in 2007, Zika "rarely caused recognized 'spillover' infections in humans, even in highly enzootic areas". Infrequently, other arboviruses have become established as a human disease though, and spread in a mosquito-human-mosquito cycle, like the yellow fever virus and the dengue fever virus.
