Highlights

  • Information on MAYV circulation in Central and Southern America are fragmentary.

  • Co-circulating pathogens inducing similar symptoms probably cause underreporting of MAYV infections.

  • Improvement of serological tools is necessary to have robust seroprevalence data not affected by cross-reactivity.

  • Surveillance of febrile illnesses and longitudinal studies are required to describe the natural history of the disease.

  • Molecular epidemiology studies, as well as entomological and environmental surveillance, are needed.
