Converging arboviral outbreaks demand disease-agnostic public health responses
Year: 2026
Type: editorial
Abstract: The scale of the 2023–25 Oropouche virus (OROV) outbreak in Brazil was itself unprecedented, and coincided with a record-breaking 2023–24 dengue epidemic, presenting challenges in diagnosing and tracking both. In name and perception, arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) outbreaks are often considered separate and distinct, yet nature never neatly compartmentalises, and the same meteorological and ecological factors that drive one can affect many. Expanding insect-vector habitats increasingly allows arboviruses to stably co-circulate in overlapping regions.
