Pathoplexus is a new platform for sharing pathogen sequence data, launched in August 2024 [1], with the primary aim of making sharing and accessing pathogen genomic data easier, faster, and more effic...

In 2023, tuberculosis (TB) returned as the leading infectious disease killer, after falling behind COVID-19 during the pandemic. An estimated 1.25 million lives were lost and 8.2 million new TB cases ...

The release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transinfected with the virus-inhibiting Wolbachia bacterium has the potential to reduce the burden caused by dengue virus (DENV). However, the robustness of thi...

Oropouche virus (OROV), an arthropod-borne virus transmitted by Culicoides paraensis, is an endemic arbovirus that historically circulates mostly in the Amazon basin. Between 2022 and 2024, it reemer....

Understanding ectotherm responses to environmental change is central to coping with many of humanity′s current and future challenges in public health, biodiversity conservation, and food security. Com...

Oropouche fever is a viral infectious disease caused by the Oropouche virus (OROV), primarily transmitted by the biting midge Culicoides paraensis. Hi…

Oropouche virus has recently become an urgent threat to public health in Central and South America. OROV is mainly transmitted by biting midges; however, some public health agencies and scientific sou...

Background West Nile virus (WNV) is the most common cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental USA, with an average of ~1200 severe, neuroinvasive cases reported annually from 2005 to 2021 (ra...

Despite significant advancements in arbovirus research, contributions remain disproportionately focused on regions with reported major outbreaks of diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. This bias risks neglecting potentially critical properties in viral evolution, transmission dynamics, ecological drivers, and host–pathogen interactions that occur within the less-studied areas. Recent developments highlight the importance of incorporating data from underrepresented regions and from recent surveillance approaches to uncover novel insights that could enhance global preparedness and response strategies. This opinion explores frameworks for generating and integrating diverse geographical data, proposing equitable research approaches to better capture the global heterogeneities and properties of at-risk environments and populations. A geographically inclusive perspective is essential to address emerging arboviral challenges, particularly in the context of a changing environment and shifting land use patterns.

Over the last seasons of dengue, the disease has reached record-breaking numbers of confirmed cases both globally and in the Americas.1 That is speculated to be a consequence of two-fold climate drive...
