Arboviruses are a group of viruses that are transmitted by arthropods (arbo is short for arthropod-borne). There are vaccines for some types of arboviruses. What are some other ways to prevent infection by arboviruses?

The main way to prevent arboviruses in animals is arthropod control. This includes use of insecticidal sprays, keeping animals indoors (if possible) at times when arthropod numbers are high, minimizing standing water and wet environments, and proper removal of wastes and other unsanitary conditions.
