The Arbovirus Research Center is a specialized facility dedicated to studying viruses transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. These viruses, known as arboviruses, include diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and dengue fever. The center conducts research to understand how these viruses spread, how they affect humans and animals, and develops strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and control. By studying these viruses, the center aims to reduce the impact of arbovirus-related diseases on public health through scientific insights and innovative solutions.
