An autochthonous chikungunya outbreak is ongoing near Anzio, a coastal town in the province of Rome. The virus isolated from one patient and mosquitoes lacks the A226V mutation and belongs to an East Central South African strain. As of 20 September, 86 cases are laboratory-confirmed. The outbreak proximity to the capital, its late summer occurrence, and diagnostic delays, are favouring transmission. Vector control, enhanced surveillance and restricted blood donations are being implemented in affected areas.
罗马省的沿海城镇安齐奥附近正在发生基孔肯雅热本地疫情。从一名患者和蚊子身上分离出的病毒没有A226V突变,属于东中非南非毒株。截至9月20日,有86例病例经实验室确诊。此次疫情发生地靠近首都、在夏末出现以及诊断延误,都有利于病毒传播。受影响地区正在实施病媒控制、加强监测和限制献血。
