Mosquito-borne flaviviruses are a large group of enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses that are primarily prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Currently, over three billion people worldwide live in endemic areas, posing a growing threat to human health. The most representative members of this group include Zika virus (ZIKV), dengue virus (DENV), yellow fever virus (YFV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). These viruses have not only caused multiple large-scale outbreaks but have also significantly impacted human reproductive health and fetal development. Therefore, this article will focus on the basic characteristics of the aforementioned viruses and the potential threats their transmission routes pose to reproductive health, aiming to provide scientific references for public health interventions and individual protection.
