These books bring together a panel of expert arbovirologists who
recall the history of arbovirology from very personal perspectives.
In these timely volumes, the authors describe seminal moments in
their experiences in the field and how they integrated these
findings with lab studies to further clarify the ecology and
epidemiology of diverse arboviruses. Authors identify the most
pressing questions that remain to be answered, providing a basis
for current research and a stimulus to engage those entering the
field. Over the last 20 years a generational gap has
developed between the giants of arbovirus research and discovery
and the new generation. This gap developed due to an ebbing of
training and investment in passing the scepter to the next
generation, leading to a lack of continuity among the generations
that threatens to derail the rich history of virus discovery, field
epidemiology and understanding of the richness of diversity that
surrounds us. This lack of continuity may have immediate and
disastrous consequences for public health when yet to be discovered
arboviruses emerge. The purpose of these books is to bridge this
gap by providing a historical context for the work being done today
and provide continuity between the generations. To this end, the
books provide a narrative of the thrill of scientific discovery and
excitement of field adventures and lab studies of that generation
-- essential reading for every arbovirologist, and highly
recommended for all virologists and public health officials, as
well as those students considering future research
options. Volume I consists of the personal reflections of
arbovirologists who played a significant role in the advancement of
arbovirology across the globe. Volume II transitions to
descriptions of region-specific and virus family-specific
perspectives of arbovirology, as well as recollections of the early
events of molecular advances and pathogenesis studies. Volume I
presents personal reflections from arbovirologists key to the
understanding and advancement of this field Offers a comprehensive
historical analysis of arbovirology by crucial contributors to this
field First-hand narratives of seminal studies and experiments,
illuminating how these have contributed to current knowledge
