“…From April 2017 to September 2017, Bangladesh experienced a significant outbreak of CHIKV, during which numerous chikungunya cases were documented in 23 districts [220]. Moreover, CHIKV rapidly spread throughout the capital city, Dhaka, which has more than 18 million inhabitants, resulting in over 13,000 clinically confirmed cases [221].…”

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne human pathogen that causes chikungunya fever, which is typically accompanied by severe joint pain. In Asia, serological evidence indicated that CHIKV first emerged in 1954. From the 1950’s to 2005, sporadic CHIKV infections were attributed to the Asian genotype. However, the massive outbreak of CHIKV in India and the Southwest Indian Ocean Islands in 2005 has since raised chikungunya as a worldwide public health concern. The virus is spreading globally, but mostly in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The emergence of the CHIKV East/Central/South African genotype-Indian Ocean lineage (ECSA-IOL) has caused large outbreaks in South and Southeast Asia affected more than a million people over a decade. Notably, the massive CHIKV outbreaks before 2016 and the more recent outbreak in Asia were driven by distinct ECSA lineages. The first significant CHIKV ECSA strains harbored the Aedes albopictus-adaptive mutation E1: A226V. More recently, another mass CHIKV ECSA outbreak in Asia started in India and spread beyond South and Southeast Asia to Kenya and Italy. This virus lacked the E1: A226V mutation but instead harbored two novel mutations (E1: K211E and E2: V264A) in an E1: 226A background, which enhanced its fitness in Aedes aegypti. The emergence of a novel ECSA strain may lead to a more widespread geographical distribution of CHIKV in the future. This review summarizes the current CHIKV situation in Asian countries and provides a general overview of the molecular virology, disease manifestation, diagnosis, prevalence, genotype distribution, evolutionary relationships, and epidemiology of CHIKV infection in Asian countries over the past 65 years. This knowledge is essential in guiding the epidemiological study, control, prevention of future CHIKV outbreaks, and the development of new vaccines and antivirals targeting CHIKV.

“…COVID-19 (2020-21), Dengue (2000-2020), Chikungunya (2017-2018), Diphtheria (2017), Avian Influenza (2008-2012), Nipah Virus (2004), and Acute Neurological Syndrome (2001-2002) are some major epidemics documented in this country 15 , 28 . Dengue and Chikungunya were responsible for around 0.15 million reported cases over their infection period in Bangladesh [ 29 ]. COVID-19, the most recent pandemic, has already broken all past records [ 28 ].…”

Background The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic has not only shaken the global health sector, but also almost every other sector including the economic and education sectors. Newspapers are performing a significant role by featuring the news of COVID-19 from its very onset. The temporal fluctuation of COVID-19 related key themes presented in newspaper articles and the findings obtained from them could offer an effective lesson in dealing with future epidemics and pandemics. Aim and Method This paper intends to develop a pandemic management framework through an automated content analysis of local newspaper coverage of COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. To fulfill the aim, 7,209 newspaper articles are assembled and analyzed from three popular local newspapers named “ bdnews24.com”, “New Age” , and “ Prothom Alo English” over the period from January 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. Results Twelve key topics are identified: origin and outbreak of COVID-19, response of healthcare system, impact on economy, impact on lifestyle, government assistance to the crisis, regular updates, expert opinions, pharmaceutical measures, non-pharmaceutical measures, updates on vaccines, testing facilities, and local unusual activities within the system. Based on the identified topics, their timeline of discussion, and information flow in each topic, a four-stage pandemic management framework is developed for epidemic and pandemic management in future. The stages are preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. Conclusion This research would provide insights into stage-wise response to any biological hazard and contribute ideas to endure future outbreaks.

“…In addition to a wide range of symptoms, 83 percent of patients in Dhaka had a 'poor' to 'very low' overall quality of life, and 30% had ambulatory issues due to severe arthropathy. However, the long-term consequences of CHIKV infection on hematological indicators have yet to be investigated (Saeed et al, 2020) [9] .…”

This is a survey initiative to assess Chikungunya knowledge and awareness, as well as public health in Dhaka and Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh. In Dhaka and Brahmanbaria district, a community-based crosssectional research was undertaken. In December of 2020, formal questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. People's awareness of Chikungunya was tested for significant differences and correlated with demographic characteristics. The illustrations depict the graphical view, while the discussion section provides a succinct yet thorough explanation. Despite the fact that nearly all of the respondents had heard of Chikungunya, only half of them (50%) correctly identified Chikungunya as a disease spread by the Aedes mosquito. A total of 47% of people believed that Chikungunya vectors breed in unclean storage water. The majority of study participants were aware of the symptoms of Chikungunya infection, notably high fever (78.0%) and joint discomfort (14.6%). Chikungunya is believed to be avoidable by the majority of respondents (88%). Mosquito coils (15.1%), mosquito nets (28.4%), and pesticide spray (19%) are among the strategies used by study participants to avoid mosquito bites. The most essential and valuable source of information on the condition was deemed to be social media. This research provides a complete analysis of chikungunya knowledge and awareness, as well as a public health evaluation in Dhaka and Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh.
