Chikungunya (pronounced "chicken-GUN-yer"[1]) is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus. It can cause joint pains that can last for weeks, months, or sometimes even years.[2][3][4] About 1 in every 1000 people who gets chikungunya dies.[5] People who are elderly or have other medical problems are most likely to die or get very sick from chikungunya.[5]
Chikungunya is spread to humans by two species of mosquito: Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti.[6][7] These mosquitoes carry the infection to humans after biting monkeys, birds, cattle, or rodents who have chikungunya.[8] Since 2004, there have been outbreaks (where many people get chikungunya) in Asia, Europe, and The Americas.
There is no known treatment or cure for chikungunya.[9]
