Arthropod-borne viral infections, ranging from asymptomatic to fatal diseases, are expanding from endemic to nonendemic areas. Climate change, deforestation, and globalization favor their spread. Although arboviral manifestations mainly determine the onset of generalized symptoms, distinct clinical signs have been assessed, depending on the particular arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) involved in the infectious process. A number of arboviruses cause neuroinvasive diseases in vertebrate hosts, with acute to chronic outcomes. Long-term neurological sequelae can include cognitive dysfunction and Parkinsonism. To increase knowledge of host interactions with arboviruses, in-depth investigations are needed to highlight how arboviruses exploit a host cell for efficient infection and clarify the molecular alterations underlying human brain diseases. This review focuses on the involvement of host cytoskeletal networks and associated signalling pathways in modulating the neurotropism of emerging arboviruses. A better understanding at the molecular level of the potential for emerging infectious diseases is fundamental for prevention and outbreak control.
