Description
Summary:The term ‘entomo-virology’ arose because of the confluence of entomology and virology, focused on deepening the knowledge about the interactions between vectors and viruses and the aspects that involve hosts and the environment. Based on this, entomo-virological surveillance was proposed, aiming to develop tools that strengthen prevention for arboviral disease and vector control strategies. This review aims to present a narrative synthesis regarding the component elements of the concept of entomo-virology. In addition, the applications and tools for the surveillance of viruses and vectors, their implementation challenges, and perspectives are discussed.
