Chikungunya Distribution and Global Map

The geographic range of chikungunya virus is mainly in Africa and Asia. For information on current outbreaks, consult CDC’s Traveler’s Health website (http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx). Given the current large chikungunya virus epidemics and the worldwide distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, there is a risk of importing chikungunya virus into new area through infected travelers.
