PLACERES HERNANDEZ, José Fernando et al. Fever caused by Chikungunya virus, an emergent disease demanding prevention and control. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.5, pp. 596-609. ISSN 1684-1824.
In the region of the Americas, the fever caused by the Chikungunya virus has been notified recently. Being an emergent disease, and because of the presence of the transmitting mosquito, the Aedes aegypti, in Cuba and at around almost all the geographic area, it is necessary its prevention and control, to avoid disease outbreaks. We carried out a bibliographic review of the main articles published on the theme, reviewing the main aspects of this health problem.
