Abstract

Arboviruses are arthropod-borne viruses that cause meningitis, among other diseases. The most important ones belong to the families Flaviviridae and Bunyaviridae. Both are composed by RNA virus. Flaviviruses are some of the most pathogenic viruses to man. The Tick-borne Encephalitis Complex and the Japanese Encephalitis Complex are some of them. Moreover, Bunyaviridae family is the largest viral family, with at least 350 species classified into five classes, of which only Bunyavirus and Phlebovirus produce meningitis. All of these viruses have been isolated in the last century and have a low prevalence in our environment, so we still have not developed effective treatments for them. However, due to climate change and certain socio-demographic factors, they could spread to areas where cases haven’t been reported in the future.
