“More than just alerting the population, what we want to do is make a call for action so that all of us take charge in the destruction of all of the virus breeding grounds and transmitters of this illness and yellow fever, which are the Aedes aegypti and the Aedes albopictus mosquitoes,” said the minister.

Chikungunya, which means “to writhe” in the kimakonde language, appeared for the first time in 1952 in Tanzania, and since then has migrated to the rest of Africa, Asia, and has recently appeared in the Caribbean, according to the World Health Organization.
