Chikungunya, or CHIKV, is a mosquito-borne virus belonging to the family Togaviridae and the genus Alphavirus.

屈公病，或稱 CHIKV，是一種由蚊子傳播的病毒，屬於 Togaviridae 科和 Alphavirus 屬。

The virus was first identified during an outbreak in Tanzania in 1952.

這種病毒是在 1952 年坦尚尼亞的一次疫情中首次發現的。

The name Chikungunya is derived from the Kimikonde language, meaning "to become contorted," referring to the bent posture of those suffering from joint pain due to the infection.

屈公病這個名字源自基米孔德語，意思是「變得扭曲」，指的是那些因感染而關節疼痛的人的彎曲姿勢。

Historically confined to Africa and Asia, Chikungunya has spread to parts of Europe, the Americas, and other tropical regions, facilitated by increased urbanization and globalization.

屈公病歷來侷限於非洲和亞洲，但隨著城市化和全球化的發展，它已蔓延到歐洲、美洲和其他熱帶地區。

In recent years, outbreaks have occurred in India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, affecting millions of people.

近年來，疫情在印度、東南亞和拉丁美洲爆發，影響到數百萬人。

Chikungunya is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, specifically Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

屈公病主要通過受感染的蚊子（特別是埃及伊蚊和白紋伊蚊）叮咬傳播。

These mosquitoes are highly adaptable and thrive in both urban and rural environments.

這些蚊子適應性很強，在城市和農村環境中都能茁壯成長。

They lay their eggs in small bodies of standing water, such as discarded containers, flowerpots, and even puddles.

它們在廢棄容器、花盆甚至水坑等小型積水中產卵。

What makes these vectors particularly effective is their aggressive daytime feeding behavior, meaning they can transmit the virus during times when people are more active outdoors.

這些病媒之所以特別有效，是因為它們在白天的覓食行為非常凶猛，這意味著它們可以在人們戶外活動較多的時候傳播病毒。

Climate change and global travel have also facilitated the spread of these mosquitoes to new regions, increasing the likelihood of outbreaks in previously unaffected areas.

氣候變化和全球旅行也促進了這些蚊子向新地區的傳播，增加了在以前未受影響地區爆發的可能性。

The incubation period for Chikungunya is typically three to seven days after a mosquito bite.

屈公病病毒的潛伏期通常為蚊蟲叮咬後的三到七天。

The virus primarily causes a sudden onset of fever and severe joint pain, known as arthralgia.

病毒主要會引起突然發燒和嚴重的關節疼痛，即關節痛。

Other common symptoms include muscle pain, headache, rash, and fatigue.

其他常見症狀包括肌肉疼痛、頭痛、皮疹和疲勞。

The joint pain can be debilitating, lasting for weeks or even months in some cases.

關節疼痛可使人衰弱，在某些情況下可持續數週甚至數月。

Though Chikungunya shares some symptoms with other arboviruses like Dengue and Zika, it is distinguished by the severity and duration of joint pain.

雖然屈公病與登革熱和茲卡病毒等其他蟲媒病毒有一些相同的症狀，但其區別在於關節疼痛的嚴重程度和持續時間。

Unlike Dengue, Chikungunya is rarely fatal, but it can lead to chronic arthritis and joint swelling in some individuals, particularly the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.

與登革熱不同，屈公病很少致命，但它會導致一些人，尤其是老年人和原有疾病患者出現慢性關節炎和關節腫脹。

Diagnosis of Chikungunya is based on clinical presentation and confirmed through laboratory testing.

屈公病的診斷以臨床表現為基礎，並通過實驗室檢測加以確認。

Serological tests, including the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies, are commonly used to identify recent or past infections.

血清學檢測，包括 IgM 和 IgG 抗體的檢測，通常用於確定近期或過去的感染。

However, during the acute phase of infection, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the preferred diagnostic tool to detect viral RNA.

不過，在感染的急性期，反轉錄聚合酶鏈反應（RT-PCR）是檢測病毒 RNA 的首選診斷工具。

Given the similarities between Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika, it's critical to differentiate between these diseases.

鑑於屈公病、登革熱和茲卡病毒之間的相似性，區分這些疾病至關重要。

Misdiagnosis can lead to ineffective treatments and complications, particularly in areas where multiple arboviruses are circulating simultaneously.

誤診可能導致治療無效和併發症，尤其是在多種蟲媒病毒同時流行的地區。

Preventing Chikungunya largely depends on controlling the mosquito populations that transmit it.

預防屈公病在很大程度上取決於控制傳播這種病毒的蚊子數量。

Public health strategies include eliminating breeding sites by draining standing water and using insecticides.

公共衛生策略包括排出積水和使用殺蟲劑消除滋生地。

On an individual level, people can reduce their risk by wearing long sleeves, using insect repellents containing diethyltoluamide, and sleeping under mosquito nets.

從個人層面來說，人們可以透過穿長袖衣服、使用含有二乙基甲苯酰胺的驅蟲劑以及在蚊帳下睡覺來降低風險。

There is no specific antiviral treatment for Chikungunya.

目前尚無針對屈公病的特定抗病毒治療方法。

Medical care focuses on relieving symptoms, particularly pain and inflammation.

醫療護理的重點是緩解症狀，尤其是疼痛和發炎。

This often involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hydration, and rest.

這通常涉及非類固醇抗發炎藥、補水和休息。

Although there is no vaccine available at present, research is ongoing, with several candidates in various stages of clinical trials.

雖然目前還沒有疫苗，但相關研究仍在進行，有幾種候選疫苗正處於不同的臨床試驗階段。
