Since the beginning of 2025, two European countries have reported cases of chikungunya virus disease: France and Italy.

According to the ECDC's Epidemiological summary Week #36, based on data submitted up to September 3, 2025, Italy reported 44 new locally acquired cases of chikungunya virus disease last week.

The total number of locally acquired, mosquito-transmitted cases in Italy is now 107.

The largest cluster of chikungunya cases is located in northern Italy in Carpi, San Prospero, and Soliera.

While the U.S. CDC has not issued a Travel Health Advisory focused on Italy's chikungunya outbreak, approved vaccines are available in Italy and throughout Europe that can prevent this viral disease.
