Chikungunya Fever Risk in Dengue Areas by Asmatullah Khan Ak is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a mathematical model to estimate the risk of acquiring chikungunya fever in dengue-endemic areas, particularly focusing on Singapore. The model indicates that the basic reproduction number for chikungunya is approximately 64.4% that of dengue, resulting in a 22% risk for local residents and a variable risk for travelers depending on their duration of stay. The findings highlight the significant risk of chikungunya transmission in regions where dengue is prevalent, emphasizing the need
