Abstract: Mayaro fever is a mosquito-borne viral infectious disease caused by Mayaro virus (MAYV). The main clinical symptoms are sudden onset of high fever triad, arthralgia and maculopapular rash. MAYV outbreaks occur more frequently in the Americas Region, particularly within tropical forests in Brazil. However, in recent years, virus circulation has been spreading to the Switzerland and Netherlands in Europe, which may invade urban areas and cause epidemics across the region. Consequently, this work focuses on the epidemiological characteristics and research progress of MAYV prevention and control, including biological characteristics, epidemiology, transmission vectors, prevention measures and treatment of this virus.
