chikungunya symptoms

Chikungunya is a very debilitating viral fever, but it is not a fatal fever. This disease is caused by the bite of female Aedes mosquito. Symptoms of chikungunya start appearing in the form of fever and joint pain within three to seven days. Apart from this, symptoms like headache, muscle pain, swelling in joints and red rashes are also seen.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was isolated in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in 1953. In Asia, this virus is spread almost exclusively by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The first outbreak of CHIKV in India occurred in 1963; After this the epidemic spread to other parts of the country. Recently, large-scale outbreaks of CHIKV have been reported from several islands in the Indian Ocean. An outbreak of chikungunya in India was reported in 2005, and 1.4 million chikungunya cases were reported from different states.
