Abstract: Introduces the main arbovirus transmission vectors and the significant infectious diseases they have caused in human society then describes the prevalence of several important arboviruses and conducts a risk analysis of novel biotechnologies as well as emerging and re-emerging arboviral diseases. Moreover the article discusses the strategies employed by humans to prevent and control arboviruses and highlights the current technological challenges. This review aims to enhance public awareness of arboviruses and the biosafety issues they cause and to explore future research directions in the field of infectious disease prevention and control. It also urges the relevant authorities to expedite the development of laws and policies to address potential arboviral infectious disease epidemics.

Key words: arboviruses, biosafety, arthropod vector, risk factors, prevention and control strategy
