形势
近期，法国卫生部发布一则警告，蚊子传播基孔肯雅热病毒的风险不断持续，并在法属西印度群岛和法属圭亚那地区大规模爆发。这是自2013年末首次在加勒比海地区暴发后，该种病毒的新一轮扩散。
基孔肯雅热病毒
这种病毒通过蚊子传播，且目前尚未有疫苗或治愈方法。上世纪50年代该病毒在坦桑尼亚被发现，2013年末由于在加勒比海地区暴发而首次被报道，现已遍及世界大部分地区，包括南欧、非洲、亚洲。标志着该病毒在全球范围的进一步扩散。

Chikungunya Virus
The situation
Members may be aware that the French Ministry of Health has recently published an alert about the continued risk of the mosquito born chikungunya virus, with respect to outbreaks in the French West Indies and French Guyana. This is in response to the further spread of the virus since it was first spotted in the Caribbean in late 2013.
The virus
This virus is transmitted by mosquito bites and at present there is no vaccine or cure. While first identified in Tanzania in the 1950s, the virus has spread and can now be found across large areas of the world including areas in southern Europe, Africa, Asia and since late 2013 it has also been reported for the first time in the Caribbean. This signals a further spread of the virus across the globe.
