In 2014, the WHO cited 93 public health events of potential international concern in the Latin American region where over half (47 events) were caused specifically by chikungunya and other zoonotic pathogens, causing geographically widespread impact affecting 27 countries and territories. Arena, alpha and flaviviruses are RNA viruses, many of which are endemic in South America, are diverse in nature, and can adapt easily to new hosts, creating zoonotic threats. Since more than 70% of emerging diseases are caused by zoonotic agents, it is of great importance to enhance the capacity for detection and diagnosis in the areas where they are most likely to emerge. COVID-19 provided an opportunity to reinforce public health capacities, improve reporting transparency, and enhance regional coordination. Limited but consistent research has been carried out in the region to address the viral threats that account for a significant portion of health concerns. This book describes relevant examples of these achievements and discusses ongoing limitations in the region. 410 0$aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,$x2366-343X 606 $aVirology 606 $aPublic health 606 $aEcology 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aGeography 606 $aVirology 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aEvolutionary Ecology 606 $aEarth and Environmental Sciences 606 $aRegional Geography 615 0$aVirology. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aGeography. 615 14$aVirology. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aEvolutionary Ecology. 615 24$aEarth and Environmental Sciences. 615 24$aRegional Geography. 676 $a579.2 676 $a616.96 700 $aPujol$b Flor H$01775168 701 $aPaniz-Mondolfi$b Alberto E$01775169 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910906300403321 996 $aEmerging Viruses in Latin America$94289576 997 $aUNINA
