Resumo: During the summer of 2014, all the pre-requisites for autochthonous transmission of chikungunya virus are present in southern France: a competent vector, Aedes albopictus, - a large number of travellers returning from the French Caribbean isl-s where an outbreak is occurring. We describe the system implemented for the surveillance of chikungunya - dengue in mainl- France. From 2 May to 4 July 2014, there were 126 laboratory-confirmed imported chikungunya cases in mainl- France.
