Answers: Definition of Chikungunya

Chikungunya: An urban disease resembling dengue fever, seen mainly in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia, caused by an arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. The most prominent frequent feature is severe arthritis. Chikungunya fever was first described in epidemic form in East Africa in 1952-1953. The virus is arthropod-borne (it is therefore an arbovirus) and belongs to the family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus. Human infections are acquired by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and epidemics are sustained by human-mosquito-human transmission. This epidemic cycle is similar to that of dengue and urban yellow fever. Chikungunya fever is characterized by sudden onset, chills and fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, arthralgia, and rash. In contrast to dengue, chikungunya is characterized by a briefer febrile episode, by persistent arthralgia in some cases, and by the fortunate absence of fatalities. Chikungunya in Swahili means that which bends up referring to the stooped posture of patients afflicted with the severe joint pain of this disease. Pronounced chik-n-gunya with the accent on the first syllable.

It is chikungunya, a mosquito-transmitted disease caused by chikungunya virus found in parts of Africa and in India, Thailand, and Malaysia; causes a febrile illness with joint pains.
Viral fevers spread through the bite of the mosquito. Chikungunya, also known as “stooping disease” causes fever and severe joint pain that forces sufferers to double over. Dengue, also known as “break-bone fever” causes flu-like symptoms, severe bone pain and internal bleeding.

On Thursday, India's health minister attempted to ease widespread fears over dengue fever, saying action was being taken. The situation is being controlled. There is no need for alarm. There is no need to be panicked, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told reporters after meeting with health ministers from four affected states.

The blighted areas will be provided with more insecticide, fogging machines to spray it with, and testing kits, the minister said. We have moved to coordinate efforts. In the next few days to come we expect the cases to reduce, the minister added.
