Abstract

Dengue is one of the most important arboviral diseases that
affect humans and is a serious public health problem in the
world. From this point of view, this viral systemic disease is also
a concern for veterinarians. The objective of this study was to
investigate the fundamentals and origins of the relationship
between veterinary medicine and arboviral diseases such
as dengue. It is first inferred that the power of influence
of veterinarians encompasses monitoring and analysis of
epidemiological indicators. Additionally, it is concluded that
veterinarians, whether linked or not to the Dengue Control
Program (DCP), have an important responsibility in generating
prevention proposals against dengue, chikungunya, and zika.
