Supportive care

Symptoms are treated, e.g. with analgesics and anticonvulsants.

Decontamination The virus is killed by common disinfectants, moist heat and drying. The vector (a mosquito) also needs to be controlled with insecticides.

Agent Properties and Potential Uses

Chikungunya virus is highly infective and disabling but is not transmissible between people. It would most likely be dispensed as an aerosol or by the release of infected mosquitos. The disabling joint pain and fever, the lack of a suitable animal reservoir in Western countries and its lack of lethality make it a very "clean" weapon that could be used against key civilian installations. The name comes from the Swahili for "that which bends up" that is a reference to the positions that victims take to relieve the joint pain.
