Abstract	Arboviruses are a diverse group of vector-borne viruses, many of whose members are the cause of significant human morbidity and mortality. Over the last 30 years, the emergence and/or resurgence of arboviruses have posed a considerable global health threat. The ongoing geographical expansion of the dengue viruses (DENV), along with the explosive outbreaks of West Nile virus (WNV), Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and more recently, Zika virus (ZIKV) have all served as reminders that new epidemics may emerge at any time from this diversity. A clearer understanding of what mechanisms drive these dramatic changes in vector-host transmission cycles that result in the human population becoming significantly more exposed, will help to prepare us for the next emerging epidemic/pandemic. This Chapter seeks to provide a brief overview of the arboviruses, their mode of transmission and some of the known factors that drive their expansion.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 May 2018.

All research outputs

#18,633,675

of 23,083,773 outputs

Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology

#3,334

of 4,976 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#330,825

of 442,614 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology

#154

of 237 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,083,773 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 4,976 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,614 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.

We're also able to compare this research output to 237 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
