Arboviral infections are a family of viral diseases that cause a variety of illnesses.
Some cause infection of the brain and spinal cord, and the soft tissues surrounding them. Others cause illnesses with fever and rash, blood system disorders, hepatitis, and muscle pain. Most arboviral infections are reported during years of high mosquito activity, especially in the warm weather months. Arboviruses are not generally present in Hawaii. You can get arboviral infections from mosquitoes, ticks, and certain types of flies that feed on blood.
