Abstract Over the past decades, number of arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) outbreaks has increased worldwide. Knowledge regarding sylvatic cycle (i.e., non-human hosts/environment) arboviruses is limited, particularly in Africa, and main hosts for maintenance are unknown. Previous studies have shown presence antibodies against certain chikungunya-, dengue- zika virus) African primates bats. We hypothesize that small mammals, specifically rodents, may function as amplifying anthropogenic...
