    Chikungunya is spread by the Aedes mosquito. It is dangerous in Singapore due to the dense environment and many breeding areas for mosquitoes. Common symptoms include joint pain. It can be diagnosed through tests like RT-PCR or blood tests but not by listening to heartbeats. While there is no cure, prevention efforts like avoiding mosquito bites and using repellent can help reduce risk.
