The global health and economic burden of chikungunya from 2011 to 2020: a model-driven analysis on the impact of an emerging vector-borne disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne arboviral disease posing an emerging global public health threat. Understanding the global burden of chikungunya is critical for designing effective prevention and control strategies. However, current estimates of the economic and health impact of chikungunya remain limited and are potentially underestimated. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the chikungunya burden worldwide.

Methods

We analysed the global burden of chikungunya between 2011 and 2020 and calculated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and direct and indirect costs using a data-driven simulation model. The main outcomes were the number of cases, the total DALY burden, and the direct and indirect costs of acute and chronic chikungunya between 2
