## Abstract

Chikungunya fever (CHIKF), resulting from the chikungunya virus infection, has become a major global health issue in recent years. This review summarizes the epidemiology, virology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, vaccine development and treatment strategies of the CHIKF. And by integrating the findings from various studies, an attempt is made to propose future research directions and intervention strategies.
