Dengue, Zika, chikungunya, Nipah virus, Ebola, and hantaviruses: vector-borne and animal reservoir-derived RNA viruses represent a growing threat to global health. Over recent decades, several of these infectious agents have undergone rapid geographic expansion, triggering outbreaks that are often difficult to predict. Increased international travel, accelerated urbanization, and ecosystem disruption have facilitated their spread and created more opportunities for transmission to humans.
