Mosquito virus reaches Kansas says KS State expert
Kansas State University expert Stephen Higgs, director of the Biosecurity Research Institute, warns that chikungunya, a mosquito borne illness causing intense joint pain, has reached Kansas though it is rarely fatal. About 100 cases in the U.S. have been noted, including Sedgwick County travelers. The danger lies in becoming home carriers and spreading it locally. Higgs notes progress toward a vaccine after ten years of study.
