  abstract = {{I}nfections caused by arboviruses such as dengue virus ({DENV}), chikungunya virus ({CHIKV}), and {Z}ika virus ({ZIKV}) frequently occur in tropical and subtropical regions. {T}hese three viruses are transmitted by {A}edes ({A}e.) aegypti and {A}e. albopictus. {I}n {T}hailand, the highest incidence of arbovirus infection and the high circulation of {A}edes mosquito mainly occurs in the {S}outhern provinces of the country. {F}ew studies have focused on the incidence of co-infection of arboviruses in this region. {I}n the present study, a cross-sectional study was conducted on a cohort of 182 febrile patients from three hospitals located in {S}outhern {T}hailand. {S}urveillance of {DENV}, {CHIKV} and {ZIKV} was conducted from {M}ay to {O}ctober 2016 during the rainy season. {T}he serological analysis and molecular detection of arboviruses were performed by {ELISA} and multiplex {RT}-{PCR} respectively. {T}he results demonstrated that 163 cases out of 182 patients (89.56%) were infected with {DENY}, with a predominance of {DENV}-2. {A}mong these {DENY} positive cases, a co-infection with {CHIKV} for 6 patients (3.68%) and with {ZIKV} for 1 patient (0.61%) were found. 19 patients out of 182 were negative for arboviruses. {T}his study provides evidence of co-infection of arboviruses in {S}outhern {T}hailand and highlight the importance of testing {DENV} and other medically important arboviruses, such as {CHIKV} and {ZIKV} simultaneously.},
