Resumo: Vector borne viruses (VBV) include viruses transmitted by arthropods, rodents - other animals. In Spain the three main autochthonous VBVs causing human diseases are: Toscana, West Nile - Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis viruses. There are also other imported viruses that are potential threats to our public health, due to the presence of competent transmission vectors (dengue - chikungunya viruses in areas infested with Aedes albopictus), or due to the potential person-to-person transmission (Lassa - other viruses causing haemorrhagic fever). The Spanish Society for Infectious Diseases - Clinical Microbiology has responded to the emergence of VBVs by publishing a special issue of Microbiological Proceedings focused on the diagnosis of those emerging vector borne viruses of major concern in our country.
