Arboviruses are viruses that are carried, or borne, between organisms by certain insects and arachnids in a group of organisms called arthropods. The insects act as vectors – carriers – of the viruses. Arboviruses have an impact on plant, human and animal health and pose an increasing threat. Environmental changes, climate change, globalisation, the animal trade, exportation and travel have caused emerging and re-emerging arboviruses to expand their geographical range and have led to more frequent outbreaks. Microbiology Today is the Society's quarterly magazine. The content is balanced to meet the needs of the Society’s members. The magazine aims to provide informative and enjoyable broad-interest articles for all readers, including parliamentarians and policy-makers. Each issue focuses on a topic, and topics are chosen with the aim of covering all fields of microbiology. Read more about research into Arboviruses in the August issue of Microbiology Today: https://microbiologysociety.org/publications/microbiology-today.html The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools. Our principal goal is to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. The impacts from this will drive us towards a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society. Images and Graphics - iStock
