Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has become a public health threat in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The research presented here documents the epidemiology of the disease in the Asia-Pacific region. It then examines the effect of ambient temperature on the ability of two mosquito species in Australia to transmit the virus. Finally, it investigates how gene expression in mosquitoes infected with chikungunya virus might vary depending on ambient temperature. The findings presented in the thesis increase our understanding of this neglected tropical disease and may contribute to better managing the risk of future outbreaks
