Abstract:
Objective To analyze the global literatures related to Chikungunya fever(CHIKF),explore the re-search status,hotspots,and frontiers of CHIKF,and provide reference for researchers and clinical workers.Methods CHIKF-related literatures were retrieved from PubMed from 2010 to 2025.Bibliometrix and VOSviewer software were used for visualization analysis.Results From 2010 to 2025,a total of 834 CHIKF-related literatures were retrieved.The annual publication volume presented a fluctuating upward trend.The journal with the highest publication volume was PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases(n=25,3.00％).The institution with the highest pub-lication volume was The University of Texas Medical Branch(n=36).The countries with the highest publication volume were Brazil(31.59％),India(15.52％),and the United States(10.43％).The countries with the top three citation rates were the United States(n=836),Brazil(n=671),and India(n=568).20.86％of the litera-tures had international cooperation,with the United States being the country with the most international coopera-tion.The keywords have shifted from"Chikungunya virus""infection""vector aedes"and"molecular biology mech-anism"during the period of 2010-2020 to"Chikungunya virus""vector mosq uito(Aedes aegypti)""immunity and vector control""related diseases(dengue fever)""vaccines",etc.during the period of 2021-2025.Conclusion The attention to CHIKF-related research continues to increase,and research direction is shifting from basic research to clinical applications.The development of antiviral drugs and vaccines may become a future focus.Strengthening international cooperation and optimizing resource allocation will be the key points to promoting the prevention and control of CHIKF.
