Chikungunya and Homeopathy

Abstract

Chikungunya is a relatively rare form of viral fever caused by an Alpha virus that is transmitted to humans by the infective bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.These mosquitoes bite humans aggressively during the day.They breed in stagnant water. Pasteur Institute in Paris, in its recent research work has gathered data, which shows that this alpha virus has undergone certain transformations, called mutations, enabling its transmission by another mosquito named Aedes albopictus, generally referred as the Tiger Mosquito.
