==Etymology==
{{About1|Chikungunya virus}}
The name is derived from the [[Makonde]] word meaning "that which bends up" in reference to the stooped [[posture]] developed as a result of the [[arthritis|arthritic]] symptoms of the disease. The disease was first described by [[Marion Robinson]]<ref name=Robinson_1955>{{cite journal | author=Robinson Marion | title=An Epidemic of Virus Disease in Southern Province, Tanganyika Territory, in [[1952]]-53; I. Clinical Features | journal=Trans Royal Society Trop Med Hyg | year=1955 | pages=28-32 | volume=49 | issue=1 }}</ref> and [[W.H.R. Lumsden]]<ref name=Lumsden_1955>{{cite journal | author=Lumsden WHR | title=An Epidemic of Virus Disease in Southern Province, Tanganyika Territory, in 1952-53; II. General Description and Epidemiology | journal=Trans Royal Society Trop Med Hyg | year=[[1955]] | pages=33-57 | volume=49 | issue=1 }}</ref> in [[1955]], following an outbreak on the [[Makonde Plateau]], along the border between [[Tanganyika]] and [[Mozambique]], in [[1952]].  Chikungunya is closely related to [[O'nyong'nyong virus]]<ref name=Vanlandingham_2005>{{cite journal | author=Vanlandingham DL, Hong C, Klingler K, Tsetsarkin K, McElroy KL, Powers AM, Lehane MJ, Higgs S | title=Differential infectivities of o'nyong-nyong and chikungunya virus isolates in Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes | journal=Am J Trop Med Hyg | year=[[2005]] | pages=616-21 | volume=72 | issue=5 | id={{PMID|15891138}} }}</ref>.

==Impact==
{{SK}} Chicken guinea; chicken gunaya; chickengunya; Chikungunya fever
Chikungunya is generally not fatal. However, in [[2005]]-[[2006]], 200 deaths were associated with chikungunya on [[Réunion]] island and a widespread outbreak in [[India]], primarily in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Karnataka]], [[Kerala]], and [[Andhra Pradesh]]. After flood and heavy rains in [[Rajasthan]], [[India]] in August 2006, thousands of cases were detected in [[Rajsamand]], [[Bhilwara]], [[Udaipur]], and [[Chittorgarh]] districts and also in adjoining regions of [[Gujarat]] and [[Madhya Pradesh]], and in the neighbouring country of [[Sri Lanka]]. In the southern Indian state of Kerala, 125 deaths  were attributed to Chikungunya with the majority of the casualties reported in the district of [[Alapuzha]], primarily in [[Cherthala]]. In December 2006, an outbreak of 3,500 confirmed cases occurred in [[Maldives]], and over 60,000 cases in Sri Lanka, with over 80 deaths. [http://www.haveeru.com.mv/?page=engdetails&id=13333]. In October 2006 more than a dozen cases of Chikungunya were reported in [[Pakistan]]. A recent outbreak of the disease during June 2007 in [[Pathanamthitta]], [[Kottayam]] and [[Alappuzha]] districts of South Kerala, India claimed more than 50 lives. It is confirmed officially that there are 7000 confirmed Chikungunya patients in these areas. Unofficial reports suggest that more than one hundred thousand are suffering from symptoms of chikungunya.{{Fact|date=July 2007}}. The European Network for Diagnostics of "Imported" Viral Diseases [http://www.enivd.de/index.htm] claims that new phylogenetic variants of the virus which are fatal have been identified on Réunion. [http://www.enivd.de/index.htm]. In August/September 2007 some 160 people were infected in Italy's northern [[Ravenna]] region, resulting in one fatality.

Chikungunya was first described in [[Tanzania]], Africa in [[1952]]. The first [[outbreak]] in [[India]] was in [[1963]] in Kolkata([[Calcutta]]).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.medindia.net/patients/patientinfo/chikungunya-history.htm|title= Chikungunya-History|accessdate=2007-05-20}}</ref> An outbreak of chikungunya was also discovered in [[Port Klang]] in [[Malaysia]] in [[1999]] affecting 27 people [http://www.prn2.usm.my/mainsite/headline/health/jan99.html] [http://123starweb.googlepages.com/index.htm]. There was an outbreak in [[Italy]] late 2007, with 160 cases.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6981476.stm BBC: ''Mosquito virus arrives in Europe'', 6 September 2007]</ref>
