Emerging outbreaks of the arbovirus chikungunya virus affect millions of individuals globally, causing debilitating arthralgia and fever. A study on the burden and etiologies of acute febrile illnesses (AFI) in Kenya reported an increase in CHIKV cases in Mombasa between December 2017 and December 2019.
