Risque d’émergence de maladies arbovirales transmises par les moustiques au Maroc : revue bibliographique

Abstract

Introduction: The emergence of arboviruses, or viruses transmitted by arthropods, is now one of the world's biggest health problems. The globalization of trade and travel, coupled with uncontrolled urbanization in many cities, has created ideal conditions for mosquito vectors to establish themselves and introduced opportunities for arboviruses to spread. Method: In this review, we summarize historical and recent data on arthropod-borne diseases and their vectors in Morocco. Results: (a vector of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya), further exacerbates this risk. About fifteen mosquito species as vectors for transmitting pathogens to humans and animals have been reported in Morocco. Conclusion: In order to understand arbovirus epidemics and virus transmission, it is necessary to study mosquito vectors first, in order to gain a comprehensive awareness of the current risk facing our country and to be well prepared for future threats.
