What is Chikungunya: Symptoms and Causes about?
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV), primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever and severe joint pain, which can last for varying durations and may lead to misdiagnosis due to overlap with other infections. The virus was first identified in Tanzania in 1952, with urban outbreaks recorded in Thailand and India in subsequent decades.
