Les émergences récentes de maladies à transmission vectorielle ont marqué un tournant en matière de santé publique, ces maladies affectant des territoires de plus en plus éloignés des zones endémiques. Cette situation tire son origine des changements environnementaux et de l’intensification des échanges commerciaux ou de voyageurs entre les continents. Le virus du chikungunya a été signalé pour la première fois en Europe en 2007 lors d’une épidémie en Italie. Les premiers cas autochtones de chikungunya dans le sud de la France ont été observés à l’automne, en 2010 puis en 2014 et 2017[1]. La question des effets du climat, en particulier de la température, sur la transmission des pathogènes par les moustiques se pose inévitablement.
