• CHIKUNGUNIYA :- Ayurvedic concept
• The concept of communicable diseases is well established in Ayurveda. Charaka has mentions epidemic conditions under the heading of ‘Janpadodhwamsa’.
  Though there is no direct reference of Chikunguniya, but it can be equated with the condition when jwara is associated with arthritis. In ayurvedic literature we can find such references where fever is associated with arthralgia/arthritis.
