“…It is thus important to closely monitor the development of dengue epidemiology world-wide as well as within the EU. The outbreak of chikungunya fever in Ravenna in 2007 showed that the presence of a competent vector can enable spread under the right conditions [7]. Studies have shown that case fatality rates of DHF/DSS are higher among the elderly and people with underlying complicating disease such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease [8].…”

Between 2004 and 2008, around 30-60 cases of dengue fever in travellers were reported annually in Sweden. Over 75% of cases in 2005-2008 were infected when travelling to Southeast Asia, most if them in Thailand, one of the Swedes’ most popular holiday destinations. Since 2007, we have observed a 55% increase in the number of dengue fever cases reported per month, with 17 cases reported in January 2009 alone.

“…Overall, the epidemic in Italy was the result of the combined effect of the globalisation of vectors and humans, which occurred through the introduction and adaptation of the vector A. albopictus into a temperate country and the introduction of CHIKV through an infected person in the viremic phase in a previously infection-free country with totally susceptible population [56,57].…”

The virus causing Chikungunya disease was identified over 50 years ago; however, because the disease appeared only in developing countries, little research on it has been done. Research interest in the disease increased after an important epidemiological outbreak occurred in 2005 on the French metropolitan island of La Reunion located in the south-eastern part of the Indian Ocean. In 2007, a smaller outbreak of Chikungunya developed in the north-eastern part of Italy made possible by immigration of a viremic patient from the Indian Ocean area and the enormous population of Aedes albopictus in Italy. Currently, Chikungunya is spreading in Southeast Asian aspects, clinical pictures, diagnosis and treatment of the disease caused by Chikungunya virus.

“…A este respecto, la expansión de Ae. albopictus por Europa ha sido responsable de los brotes autóctonos de chikungunya acontecidos en Italia (región de Emilia-Romaña), en 2007 (Angelini et al 2007) y Francia (Costa Azul), en 2010 (Grandadam et al 2011);de dengue, en 2010, en Francia (Costa Azul) (La Ruche et al 2010) y Croacia (península de Pelješac) (Gjenero-Margan et al 2011).…”
