A spike of a virus transmitted by mosquitoes is recorded worldwide.

The World Health Organization is concerned about the spread of the Chikungunya virus

WHO has urged immediate action in light of the threat of an epidemic of a virus that has already reached various countries around the world. The warning came amid new infection cases and the absence of treatment for this disease.

This was reported by Reuters.

A new outbreak of the virus

A new spike of Chikungunya began in 2025, increasing on the islands of the Indian Ocean. The virus is also spreading in Madagascar, Somalia, Kenya, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

In France, approximately 800 cases of the virus have been registered since May 1, linked to travels from other countries or residence in endemic regions.
