Chikungunya – Caribbean
The UK Club have received the following information from our correspondents in Barbados regarding the recent outbreak of Chikungunya in the Caribbean.
The Chikungunya Virus is transmitted via the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes which are the same mosquitoes that transmit Dengue Fever. These mosquitoes bite mostly during the daytime and are easily recognisable by the white bands on their legs. Cases of the virus have been reported in the Caribbean islands of Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos Islands and British Virgin Islands.
