El chikungunya est\u00e1 causado por el virus del mismo nombre, el virus del chikungunya o CHIKV.1<\/sup> Lo transmiten las hembras de los mosquitos Aedes aegypti<\/em> y Aedes albopictus<\/em> (o mosquito tigre), que pican durante el d\u00eda, lo que hace que sea dif\u00edcil evitarlas.1<\/sup> La presencia del mosquito tigre vector competente para transmitir el virus, en amplias zonas de Espa\u00f1a crea las condiciones id\u00f3neas para que un caso importado por un viajero pueda originar un brote local.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
