Resurgent threat in a changing climate: A 20-year bibliometric analysis of global Chikungunya research evolution and pandemic preparedness

While CHIKV research increasingly addresses vaccines and climate drivers, critical weaknesses remain in terms of equitable collaboration, climate-adaptive surveillance, and integrated interventions. We advocate for predictive modeling, rapid-response vaccine platforms, and embedding CHIKV preparedness within climate-resilient health policies to transform reactive efforts into sustained pandemic resilience.
