What is Chikungunya, the virus spreading through China?
Chikungunya is transmitted by mosquitoes and usually causes mild symptoms, but severe joint pain can persist for months. There is no specific treatment, though vaccines exist for travelers. The outbreak has led to measures like distributing mosquito nets and spraying insecticide. Heavy rains and high temperatures have worsened the situation. (AP Production by Luke Garratt)
