Mosquito ancestry shapes chikungunya risk across the Mediterranean

Original: chikungunya

New attention on chikungunya in Italy and the wider Mediterranean focuses on how the ancestry of mosquito populations influences the risk of outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue. Researchers suggest that genetic and ecological differences in local mosquito populations help explain where these mosquito-borne viruses are most likely to spread, a concern for southern European public health planning.

Why now: Chikungunya is drawing renewed attention amid rising concern about mosquito-borne disease risk in Mediterranean Europe.
