基孔肯雅病毒在整个热带地区广泛传播，在那里它会导致基孔肯雅热的反复爆发。近年来，疫情已影响到东非和中非、南美洲和东南亚的人口。该病毒由埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊传播。基孔肯雅热的特点是严重的关节痛和肌痛，可持续多年，对健康、生活质量和经济生产力有相当大的不利影响。气候变化的影响以及商业和旅行的日益全球化导致了伊蚊栖息地的增长。因此，未来几年将有越来越多的人面临基孔肯雅热的风险。在缺乏特异性抗病毒治疗和疫苗仍在开发中的情况下，监测和病媒控制对于抑制重新出现和流行至关重要。
Chikungunya virus is widespread throughout the tropics, where it causes recurrent outbreaks of chikungunya fever. In recent years, outbreaks have afflicted populations in East and Central Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. The virus is transmitted byAedes aegyptiandAedes albopictusmosquitoes. Chikungunya fever is characterized by severe arthralgia and myalgia that can persist for years and have considerable detrimental effects on health, quality of life and economic productivity. The effects of climate change as well as increased globalization of commerce and travel have led to growth of the habitat ofAedesmosquitoes. As a result, increasing numbers of people will be at risk of chikungunya fever in the coming years. In the absence of specific antiviral treatments and with vaccines still in development, surveillance and vector control are essential to suppress re-emergence and epidemics.
