Pandemic potential

Scale risk

Global pandemic potential is low, but vector spread, immunologically naive communities, and island or coastal routes can produce fast-growing local outbreaks.

Knowns

Field-confirmed points

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the two most critical vectors for local spread.

Even after the acute fever resolves, severe joint pain can last for weeks or months and reduce function.

On island routes such as Mauritius, imported travel-related cases and the diagnostic window in returning travelers have operational importance.

Uncertainties

Gaps still under watch

In local outbreaks, the true total burden may be undercounted because of mild cases or people who never present to the health system.

The individual duration of chronic joint symptoms and the pace of recovery cannot be predicted reliably in advance.
