Abstract
Over the past two decades, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), primarily transmitted by aedes-borne, has caused recurrent large-scale outbreaks across Africa, South/Southeast Asia, and Indian Ocean islands. The disease manifests with acute febrile illness, debilitating polyarthralgia, and chronic joint complications, posing significant public health burdens. Originally endemic to tropical zones, Chikungunya fever's pandemic potential has escalated due to the global expansion of aedes albopictus habitats and increased international travel. At present, 119 countries and regions around the world have reported local transmission, including recent local outbreaks in China's Guangdong Province. This review synthesizes critical insights into CHIKV's evolutionary adaptations, epidemiological characteristics, Chikungunya fever's clinical manifestations, and advances in prevention strategies and measures, aiming to inform evidence-based prevention and control measures.
期刊介绍：
Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, established in 1981, is an advanced academic periodical in epidemiology and related disciplines in China, which, according to the principle of integrating theory with practice, mainly reports the major progress in epidemiological research. The columns of the journal include commentary, expert forum, original article, field investigation, disease surveillance, laboratory research, clinical epidemiology, basic theory or method and review, etc.
The journal is included by more than ten major biomedical databases and index systems worldwide, such as been indexed in Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, PubMed Central (PMC), Europe PubMed Central, Embase, Chemical Abstract, Chinese Science and Technology Paper and Citation Database (CSTPCD), Chinese core journal essentials overview, Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) core database, Chinese Biological Medical Disc (CBMdisc), and Chinese Medical Citation Index (CMCI), etc. It is one of the core academic journals and carefully selected core journals in preventive and basic medicine in China.
