BackgroundChikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an Aedes transmitted arbovirus. Demographic changes coupled with the expanding footprint of the mosquito from climate change have the potential to shift the global burden from the virus. MethodsHere we use projections of human demography and Aedes mosquitoes distribution to estimate baseline and future burden from CHIKV under different climate change scenarios in 178 countries. We then estimate the potential of vaccines to mitigate the growing burden. Fin...
