Description
Sadhna Sodani and co-authors report a surge of chikungunya in central India in 2025. The virus spreads by mosquito bite and causes fever with severe joint pain. India has seen repeated outbreaks since the virus emerged there in 2006. A sharp rise hit the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2024, after the COVID pandemic years.
The team ran a forward looking study across several months in the state. Lab tests confirmed the virus in people with sudden high fever and joint pain. Some cases came with rash or with a second viral infection. Their count gives health teams a clearer sense of the surge and its reach.
