Activity Title: Emergence of Chikungunya: Distribution and vector ecology
Release Date: December 13, 2022
Estimated Time to Complete Activity: 70 minutes
Statement of Need:Chikungunya is a mosquito borne viral disease caused by the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a Togaviridae virus, and is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Clinical symptoms include acute onset of fever, debilitating joint and muscle pain, headache, nausea, and rash, potentially developing into long-term serious health impairments. Chikungunya virus causes clinical illness in 72 – 92% of infected human around 4 to 7 days after an infected mosquito bite. Complications resulting from the disease include visual, neurological, heart and gastrointestinal manifestations; fatalities have been reported in elderly people at higher risk.
Chikungunya outbreaks have been reported in Asia, Africa, the Americas and recently in Europe. Both the medical and economic burden are expected to grow as the CHIKV primary mosquito vectors continue their geographic spread Although there are some candidate vaccines in clinical trials, none are licensed. Therefore, chikungunya remains a major public health threat.

This webinar is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Valneva.
This webinar will discuss the emergence of Chikungunya, it's distribution and vector ecology.
Upon completion of this module, participants will be able to:
- Discuss how the Chikungunya virus is transmitted and its clinical symptoms
- Understand the complications that can arise from the disease
- Discuss where outbreaks have been reported, and the lack of vaccines
The target audience for this module is physicians, nurses, public health officials, researchers, immunization officers, and other health professionals.
