arbovirus infection meaning

In addition to the human cases, 23 states including Georgia have recorded arbovirus infection in animals _ chiefly horses and emus, a flightless bird farmed for meat _ that can potentially be passed to humans by mosquitoes.
Because arbovirus infection can have such serious results, health professionals should consider it as a possible diagnosis when treating cases of fever, muscle aches and nausea, meningitis or encephalitis from mosquito-prone areas, the CDC said.
