All Arboviruses Involve

Question

All arboviruses involve
A)congenital infection.
B)arthropod vectors.
C)diarrhea.
D)birds as the primary reservoir.
E)All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) are transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors (such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies). While some arboviruses (such as Zika virus and West Nile virus) can cause congenital infection or affect birds as primary reservoirs, not all arboviruses involve these aspects. Diarrhea is also not a common symptom of arboviral infections. Therefore, the best choice is B, as it applies to all arboviral infections.
