Secondary Autochthonous Outbreak of Chikungunya, Southern Italy, 2017

Flavia Riccardo et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

In 2017, a chikungunya outbreak in central Italy later evolved into a secondary cluster in southern Italy, providing evidence of disease emergence in new areas. Officials have taken action to raise awareness among clinicians and the general population, increase timely case detection, reduce mosquito breeding sites, and promote mosquito bite prevention.
