Insect-borne diseases
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are vectors for a large number of diseases, the large majority being viral in nature. Mosquito-borne viruses fall into four major groups: Bunyavirales, Flaviviridae, Togaviridae, and Reoviridae. They can present as either arbovirus encephalitis or viral hemorrhagic fevers.
