Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.
Rapid urbanization and migration in Latin America have intensified exposure to insect-borne diseases. Malaria, Chagas disease, yellow fever, and leishmaniasis have historically afflicted the region, while dengue, chikungunya, and Zika have been described and expanded more recently. The increased presence of synanthropic vector species and spread into previously unaffected areas due to urbanization and climate warming have intensified pathogen transmission risks.

Urbanisation stands as a primary driver of biodiversity loss globally, reshaping natural landscapes and imposing novel environmental conditions upon organisms. This ecological novelty poses challenges, and species capable of thriving in urban environments are considered tolerant. Among vertebrates, anurans are the most susceptible to land-use changes, mainly due to their life history and morphological traits.
