  abstract = {{T}he discovery and development of methods for isolation, characterisation and taxonomy of viruses represents an important milestone in the study, treatment and control of virus diseases during the 20th century. {I}ndeed, by the late-1950s, it was becoming common belief that most human and veterinary pathogenic viruses had been discovered. {H}owever, at that time, knowledge of the impact of improved commercial transportation, urbanisation and deforestation, on disease emergence, was in its infancy. {F}rom the late 1960s onwards viruses, such as hepatitis virus ({A}, {B} and {C}) hantavirus, {HIV}, {M}arburg virus, {E}bola virus and many others began to emerge and it became apparent that the world was changing, at least in terms of virus epidemiology, largely due to the influence of anthropological activities. {S}ubsequently, with the improvement of molecular biotechnologies, for amplification of viral {RNA}, genome sequencing and proteomic analysis the arsenal of available tools for virus discovery and genetic characterization opened up new and exciting possibilities for virological discovery. {M}any recently identified but "unclassified" viruses are now being allocated to existing genera or families based on whole genome sequencing, bioinformatic and phylogenetic analysis. {N}ew species, genera and families are also being created following the guidelines of the {I}nternational {C}ommittee for the {T}axonomy of {V}iruses. {M}any of these newly discovered viruses are vectored by arthropods (arboviruses) and possess an {RNA} genome. {T}his brief review will focus largely on the discovery of new arthropod-borne viruses.},
