The document discusses Arthropod Borne Viruses (ARBOVIRUSES), which are viruses transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes and ticks. It notes that the most important ARBOVIRUSES for humans are in the Togaviridae and Flaviviridae families, which can cause diseases like encephalitis, dengue fever, and hemorrhagic fevers.
