How is Chikungunya transmitted in Singapore?

Chikungunya is spread through the bite of infected female Aedes mosquitoes, which are common in Singapore's tropical climate.

- Transmission occurs when a mosquito bites an infected person and then bites another human.

- The Aedes aegypti species is the primary vector in Singapore, thriving in urban areas with stagnant water.

- Person-to-person transmission is rare and not a significant route in outbreaks.
