Public Health France reported (Semaine 39-2025) today that a total of 570 locally acquired cases of Chikungunya Fever have been reported since the beginning of 2025.

The Paca region, a favorite tourist destination, is the most affected by the indigenous circulation of the Chikungunya virus.

As of September 25, 2025, mosquito-transmitted cases have been reported from Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Corsica, Occitanie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Île-de-France, Grand Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Additionally, the Ministry confirmed 993 imported cases of Chikungunya, many of whom had visited the French Departments of Mayotte and Réunion.

In total, the ongoing Chikungunya outbreak in France may set new records for the country.

As an option to prevent this disease, approved vaccines are offered in France, throughout Europe, and at travel clinics and pharmacies in the United States.
