Neurological manifestations of Flaviviridae, Togaviridae, and Peribunyaviridae as vector‐borne viruses.

Vector‐borne viruses pose a significant health problem worldwide, as they are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. In recent years, emerging and re‐emerging vector‐borne diseases have gained attention as they can cause a wide spectrum of neurological manifestations. The neurological manifestations of vector‐borne viruses encompass a board spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild and self‐limiting symptoms to severe and life‐threatening conditions. Common neurological complications include viral encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, aseptic meningitis, and various neuromuscular disorders. The specific viruses responsible for these neurological sequelae vary by geographic region and include Orthoflavivirus nilense, Zika virus, dengue virus, chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and tick‐borne encephalitis virus. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of these neurologic complications and highlights the mechanisms by which vector‐borne viruses invade the central nervous system and trigger neuroinflammatory responses. Diagnostic challenges and strategies for early detection of neurological manifestations are discussed, emphasising the importance of clinical suspicion and advanced laboratory testing.
