Different aspects related to globalization together with the great capacity of the arthropod vectors to adapt to a changing world favour the emergence and reemergence of numerous infectious diseases transmitted by them.

Herein, arthropod-borne disease are reviewed, with special emphasis on the existing risk to contract them in Spain according to different parameters, such as the presence of arthropod and the circulation or the possible circulation of the causative agents.

Resumen

Diferentes aspectos relacionados con la globalización junto a la gran capacidad de los artrópodos vectores para adaptarse a un mundo cambiante propician la emergencia y reemergencia de numerosos procesos infecciosos transmitidos por los mismos.

En esta revisión se repasan las diferentes afecciones transmitidas por artrópodos vectores, haciendo un especial hincapié en el riesgo existente para contraerlas en España en función de diferentes parámetros, como la presencia del artrópodo y la circulación o posible circulación de los agentes causales.
