Abstract
Arthropod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) are an emerging and continuously expanding threat or public health. Vertical transmission of these arboviruses in pregnant women poses one of the greatest challenges for scientific community because of the seriousness of the consequences that these entail in the mother and fetus. Cases of 6 arboviruses with a common potential vector, Ae. albopictus, are reported. These arboviruses are: La Crosse, Yellow Fever, Chikungunya, Dengue, West Nile and Zika. It carried out a study on its taxonomy, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, differential and microbiological diagnosis and emphasizes vertical transmission of each, providing evidence in the form of clinical cases of such transmission. Finally, the ability of the vector to expand and factors that determine the risk of occurrence of arbo- viruses in a particular area, are investigated.
