Emergence and Surveillance of Chikungunya
TLDR
In endemic areas, seroprevalence studies could contribute to early detection of epidemics and to have a real picture of the burden of this disease in temperate areas where Aedes aegypti and/or Aedes albopictus are present.

Chikungunya Virus Infection
TLDR
The globalization of CHIKV exposes countries with Aedes mosquitoes both to brutal outbreaks of acute incapacitating episodes and endemic long-lasting disorders.
Chikungunya infection--an emerging disease in Malaysia.
TLDR
An outbreak of chikungunya virus occurred in Klang, Malaysia between December 1998 and February 1999, and it is speculated that the virus has been re-introduced into the country through the movement of these workers.

Chikungunya in Thailand: a re-emerging disease?
TLDR
The objectives of this paper are to describe the epidemiology of chikungunya infection based on outbreak investigations carried out in Khon Kaen (July 1991), Nakorn Si Thammarat (July 1995), and Nong Khai Provinces (August 1995), all of which occurred during the rainy season.
Vectors of Chikungunya virus in Senegal: current data and transmission cycles.
TLDR
The retrospective analysis of viral isolates from mosquitoes, wild vertebrates, and humans allowed to us to characterize Chikungunya virus transmission cycles in Senegal and to compare them with those of yellow fever virus.
Imported Chikungunya Infection, Italy
TLDR
The number of imported CHIKV cases in all of Italy in 2006 was likely higher than previously thought, and most patients probably did not seek medical care, and when they did, physicians may have failed to recognize the disease.
Arbovirus studies in Luanda, Angola. 2. Virological and serological studies during an outbreak of dengue-like disease caused by the Chikungunya virus.
TLDR
The fact that this outbreak immediately preceded and continued concurrently with a yellow fever epidemic in Luanda shows that two arboviruses from different antigenic groups may circulate simultaneously in the same ecological area.

TLDR
A widely circulating low-virulent CHIK virus is a possible explanation for the epidemiological pattern of the Chikungunya virus disease in this region.
