The CDC is responding to widespread transmission of chikungunya
virus across multiple international destinations. The agency
issued a Level 2—“Practice Enhanced Precautions”—advisory for
the Seychelles on Feb. 12 following a surge in confirmed cases
across the 115-island archipelago. Bolivia and Suriname received
similar advisories earlier this month. Active Level 2 notices
also remain in place for Cuba and Sri Lanka.

‘Shocking’ data shows the climate crisis and invasive mosquitos

Dr Steven White, also at UKCEH, said: “Twenty years ago, if you
said we were going to have chikungunya and dengue in Europe,
everybody would have said you were mad: these are tropical
diseases. Now everything’s changed. This is down to this
invasive mosquito and climate change – it really is as simple as
that.
