Resumen
Infections caused by flaviviruses are among the most prevalent communicable diseases in the world, with mosquitoes being their main vector. There are about 3,500 mosquito species, of which only a small proportion transmit diseases. Knowledge of the vectors of these viruses is crucial for understanding the ecology of flaviviruses transmission cycles in the world and, particularly, in Argentina. The aim of this work is to describe the diversity of mosquito-borne flaviviruses, to detail the vector species involved (with evidence of infection in nature and competence assays with positive results) or potentially involved (with only evidence of infection in nature or positive competence assays) and to analyze their presence in Argentina and, in particular, in Buenos Aires Province.
