On the night of July 21, The Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an “Initiative to Citizens,” which states that, Chikungunya cases have already been reported in Guangdong Province, and the dengue fever epidemic is also entering a rapid escalation phase. 。

On July 22, at a press conference held in Geneva, experts from the World Health Organization… Alert issued for chikungunya, a mosquito-borne disease. , urging all countries to prepare adequately and prevent large-scale outbreaks of the epidemic. 。

According to an announcement by the Shunde District Health Commission of Foshan City, on July 8, surveillance in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, detected a local outbreak of chikungunya fever linked to imported cases. As of July 23, 2025, Shunde District has reported a cumulative total of confirmed chikungunya cases.  3317 Example 。

 

In addition, Lu Hongzhou, president of Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital, stated in a public interview that the outbreak in Shunde District has already shown clear signs of spillover. To date, Shenzhen has reported one confirmed case imported from Foshan, and two additional Foshan cases have traced activity in Shenzhen (one of whom has already sought medical care).

Since Guangdong’s Foshan reported an imported case of chikungunya virus infection and a subsequent outbreak spread beyond the region, Beijing has also identified imported cases. Public health experts in multiple localities have emphasized that anyone who has traveled to a country or region where chikungunya is endemic within the past 12 days should seek medical care at a reputable healthcare facility promptly if they develop symptoms such as fever, joint pain, or rash, and should proactively disclose their travel and residence history to their physician.

Chikungunya Diagnosis


 

According to the report released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Technical Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Chikungunya Fever (2025 Edition) and “Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Chikungunya Fever” The diagnosis of chikungunya fever requires the integration of epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, and laboratory findings. Laboratory testing includes serological assays (antibody detection) and etiological tests (nucleic acid amplification).

In response to the chikungunya outbreak, Jinhao Pharmaceutical To have Independently developed and manufactured of Chikungunya Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR), Chikungunya Virus IgM/IgG Antibody Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold Assay), Chikungunya Virus Antigen Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold Assay) and more diagnostic kits for vector-borne pathogens.

 

 

Through rapid and accurate laboratory testing, achieve “ “Early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early response” , effectively reducing the risk of epidemic spread.
