About ChikungunyaChikungunya
virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne viral disease spread by the bites
of infected Aedes mosquitoes which causes fever, severe joint and
muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. Joint pain is
often debilitating and can persist for weeks to years.1In 2004, the
disease began to spread quickly, causing large-scale outbreaks
around the world. Since the re-emergence of the virus, CHIKV has
now been identified in over 110 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe
and the Americas.2 Between 2013 and 2023, more than 3.7 million
cases were reported in the Americas3 and the economic impact is
considered to be significant. The medical and economic burden is
expected to grow with climate change as the mosquito vectors that
transmit the disease continue to spread geographically. As such,
the World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted chikungunya as
a major public health problem.4
