Abstract

Abstract: Numerous Chikungunya outbreaks have occurred throughout Central and South America in 2014. Around a million of local residents suffered. Chikungunya virus is a member of Genus Alphavirus, Family Togaviridae. The genome is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA. Genus Aedes mosquitoes are main vectors, especially Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. The disease caused by the virus shows some similarities with Dengue fever in clinical manifestations. We need to pay attention to diagnosis of those two diseases. A small-scale epidemic of Chikungunya occurred struck in Guangdong Province in 2010 with the degree of health threat. It's in great need of controlling the spread of Chikungunya virus, for its economic burden is no less than that of Dengue virus.

Key words: Chikungunya, Chikungunya virus, Aedes albopictus, Dengue fever
