China is facing its largest-ever outbreak of the mosquito-borne chikungunya virus, with over 7,000 cases mostly in Foshan, Guangdong Province. Authorities have launched an aggressive response using drone spraying, neighborhood inspections, mosquito nets, and public fines to eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed. These efforts include deploying special "elephant mosquitoes" that eat larvae and strict penalties for non-compliance, even cutting off electricity for some households. The outbreak has been worsened by heavy rain and warm climate conditions, prompting health officials to urge vigilance as urban overcrowding and climate change may increase future risks. This video covers the virus symptoms, China’s innovative control measures, travel advisories, and what you need to know to stay safe in 2025.
Stay informed with the latest updates on chikungunya, mosquito-borne diseases, public health innovations, and global disease control efforts.
