Chikungunya in the Americas

As of June 13, 2014, local transmission had been identified in 19 countries or territories in the Caribbean or South America. A total of 165,990 suspected and 4,576 laboratory-confirmed chikungunya cases had been reported from these areas (Updated data from the Pan American Health Organization ).
Chikungunya virus likely will continue to spread to new areas in the Americas (North America, Central America, and South America) through infected people and mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes that transmit the virus are found throughout much of the Americas, including parts of the United States.
Since chikungunya virus is new to the Americas, most people in the region are not immune. This means they can be infected and spread the virus to other mosquitoes.
