Chikungunya fever is a viral disease acquired by humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was first identified in Tanzania in 1953, and has since been found in west, central and southern Africa and many areas of Asia. Chikungunya virus has caused many human epidemics in those areas since that time. CHIKV infection can cause a severe illness, that most often includes symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, rash, and joint pain. There is no vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for chikungunya fever available. The best way to avoid CHIKV infection is to prevent mosquito bites. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine Entomological Sciences Program. Contents include clinical and medical information, with information on signs, symptoms, testing, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and more. |
