Many disease incidence maps offer limited health risk assessments for international travelers planning trips. Quantifying uncertainty is increasingly important to reduce the number of travel-related diseases in 2025.
The concern is that surveillance biases hamper existing disease maps and may misrepresent the actual distribution of travel-related diseases.
Furthermore, since arboviruses are transmitted mainly by Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Ae. albo-pictus in urban settings, they pose an escalating global threat in large population centers.
To fill this mapping need, the Global Arbovirus Initiative has developed a global framework to monitor the combined risk of Aedes-borne transmission of diseases such as Chikungunya, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and Zika.
