Arboviruses pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly in Pakistan, where deforestation, climate change, urbanization, inadequate sanitation, and natural disasters have all contributed to the spread of mosquito-borne flavivirus diseases like dengue fever. The lack a thorough national surveillance system has made it difficult determine extent distribution these diseases. Concern been raised by recent outbreaks West Nile virus (WNV) chikungunya (CHIKV) epidemics, which may lead Zika (ZIKV) future. Additionally, hospital-based detected Japanese encephalitis (JEV) region. Evidence also points presence additional arboviruses healthy populations, such as Karshi (KSV), Tamdy (TAMV), Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHFV), severe with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTSV). This review aims address risk factors linked diseases, provide specific policy recommendations for efficient disease prevention control, describe epidemiological trends Pakistan while emphasizing critical need improved investigations.
