Epidemiological profile of arboviruses in two different scenarios: dengue circulation vs. dengue, chikungunya and Zika co-circulation

Abstract

Highlights The introduction of chikungunya and Zika viruses did not change the epidemiological profile of dengue cases in our study population. Most cases of dengue, chikungunya and Zika have been described in women. Dengue, chikungunya and/or Zika cases had different age profiles. The female/male ratio in chikungunya was higher than that observed in dengue cases. The epidemiological differences among dengue, chikungunya and Zika must be considered by public health policies.
