The Others: A Systematic Review of the Lesser-Known Arboviruses of the Insular Caribbean

Abstract: The Caribbean enjoys a long-standing eminence as a popular tourist destination; however, over the years it has also amassed the sobriquet “arbovirus hotspot”. As the planet warms and vectors expand their habitats, a cognizant working knowledge of the lesser-known arboviruses and the factors that influence their emergence and resurgence becomes essential. The extant literature on Caribbean arboviruses is spread across decades of published literature and is quite often difficult to access, and, in some cases, is… Show more

“…A recent article [ 5 ] described ticks from the Argasidae family, including species of Antricola and Ornithodoros found in bat guano. Earlier investigations documented the isolation of the Hughes virus from Ornithodoros denmarki ticks parasitizing birds and the Estero real virus from Ornithodoros tadaridae ticks parasitizing bats [ 13 ]. However, subsequent to these findings, there have been no reported instances of virus isolations from ticks infecting bats.…”

“…Understanding lesser-known arboviruses and the factors contributing to their emergence and resurgence in the region has become crucial. Some of these arboviruses, such as the West Nile virus, have undergone a significant geographic expansion into the Americas and pose a threat of becoming future pandemics for the region [72]. Not only do these viruses pose a threat to public health, but the emergence of other invasive mosquito species, such as Aedes japonicus (Theobald, 1901), reported in North America [73,74], and Aedes vittatus (Bigot, 1861), recently identified in the insular Caribbean [75,76], also presents a significant risk.…”
