💉 Tackling these challenges requires several approaches: research, vaccination programs, mosquito control efforts, and public health education. As these viruses continue to affect millions of people, effective global coordination is essential to manage and prevent outbreaks.

🦟 One key global health concern is flaviviruses These are primarily transmitted by mosquitoes, making vector control an essential part of prevention. These diseases are usually not confined to specific regions and can spread across borders, affecting large populations worldwide
