NANNING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — A total of eight cases of chikungunya fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, have been reported in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local authorities announced Thursday.

Chikungunya fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the chikungunya virus, which manifests itself with clinical symptoms such as fever, rash and joint pain. The virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.

Thousands of cases of chikungunya fever have been reported in neighboring Guangdong Province in southern China since late July, but the number of new infections is declining thanks to a range of targeted preventive measures. -0-
