Chikungunya fever, Frontier, Epidemiology Summary.Abstract
Chikungunya fever was described during an epidemic in Asia in 1953. After its identification, it was possible to say that it was a CHIKV virus belonging to the genus Alfhavirus, of the Togaviridae family. Its transmission occurs through the bite of the infected Aedes mosquito, with A. aegypti and A. albopictus being the main vectors responsible for its spread. When infected, individuals may develop the following signs and symptoms: fever, joint and muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rashes and may progress to subacute and chronic phases of the disease, as well as being asymptomatic in several situations. It is a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach to be developed with secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System. An analysis of the epidemiological situation of the disease was carried out in the period of June 2014 - when the first cases were diagnosed in the city and in Brazil. The main objective of the work is to describe the epidemiological situation of Chikungunya Fever in the municipality of Oiapoque, from June 2014 to August 2016. In general, we can say that the control of chikungunya like any other endemic disease is a very difficult action to be executed, since they invade a place without prior notice, especially when it comes to places where the movement of people from many places and countries is very frequent, especially in the case of border municipalities, where climatic factors are favorable to the spread mosquito vector of chikungunya.
