Chikungunya Outbreaks — The Globalization of Vectorborne Diseases
Abstract
In 2006, an outbreak of chikungunya fever — an arthralgic disease caused by a mosquito-borne alphavirus — swept over a number of islands in the Indian Ocean (the Comoros, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Madagascar, Mayotte, and Reunion). In Reunion, which has a population of 770,000, there were 265,000 clinical cases (an incidence of 34%), and the disease was implicated in 237 deaths (about 1 per 1000 clinical cases); a recent report by Reunion health authorities indicated that the seroprevalence was 35%, with very few asymptomatic cases. The epidemic had started with outbreaks in Kenya in 2004 and the Comoros early in . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
