An income-generating scheme for vector management of chikungunya fever in Kerala and Karnataka [1]

India is under the grip of an outbreak of chikungunya fever since 2006. The genome of the causative chikungunya virus (CHIKV) closely resembles that from Indian Ocean islands. Neither vaccines nor drugs are available for CHIKV infection in man, and the integrated vector management strategy remains the only effective control measure of this disease.
