Chikungunya, dengue fever, West Nile virus: in 2025, France will face unprecedented viral circulation

Montpellier Chikungunya, dengue fever, West Nile virus: in 2025, France will face unprecedented viral circulation Montpellier , The explosion in the number of mosquito-borne virus infections in France makes 2025 a truly exceptional year. This grim record is primarily due to the highly active circulation of the chikungunya virus, but our country is also facing a more limited, but nonetheless significant, circulation of dengue and West Nile viruses. We are therefore facing, for the first time, a triple circulation of these viruses called arboviruses . This dual problem—a significant increase in the number of infections and a diversity of circulating viruses—creates a particularly complex situation. How to describe the 2025 season? Exceptional?

France is not the only country affected: Italy, Spain and other European countries are also recording a …
