The ecological factors contributing to the chikungunya outbreak in Ruili, a border city in Yunnan Province, China
Our findings suggest that autochthonous transmission of chikungunya fever following case importation is significantly associated with imported case, high population density, and areas with great grassland coverage. A comprehensive understanding of the factors facilitating autochthonous transmission can enhance future surveillance efforts, environmental management strategies, and disease control measures for chikungunya fever.
