The Chikungunya virus is the infection that causes chikungunya (CHIKV). Fever and joint ache are symptoms. Usually, they develop two to twelve days following exposure. A rash, headache, muscular soreness, and joint swelling are possible additional symptoms. Though symptoms often subside after a week, joint discomfort can occasionally last for months or even years. There is a one in 1,000 chance of dying. More severe illness is more likely to affect the very young, the elderly, and people with underlying health issues. Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are two species of mosquitoes that transmit the virus from one person to another. They typically bite during the day. Several species, including birds and rodents, may carry the virus. Blood tests for the virus's RNA or antiviral antibodies are used to make the diagnosis. The signs and symptoms might be confused with Zika and dengue illness. After just one illness, most people supposedly develop immunity. Overall mosquito control and avoiding bites in regions where the illness is prevalent are the best methods of prevention. Insect repellent and mosquito net use, as well as reducing mosquitoes' access to water, may help to some extent. As of 2016, there is no vaccination and no particular therapy. Rest, fluids, and medications to treat fever and joint pain are all advised.
