  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of endemic infections is of critical importance for a deeper understanding of pathogen transmission, and for the design of more efficient public health strategies. {H}owever, very few studies in this domain have focused on emerging infections, generating a gap of knowledge that hampers epidemiological response planning. {H}ere, we analyze the case of a {C}hikungunya outbreak that occurred in {M}artinique in 2014. {U}sing time series estimates from a network of sentinel practitioners covering the entire island, we first analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics and show that the largest city has served as the epicenter of this epidemic. {W}e further show that the epidemic spread from there through two different propagation waves moving northwards and southwards, probably by individuals moving along the road network. {W}e then develop a mathematical model to explore the drivers of the temporal dynamics of this mosquito-borne virus. {F}inally, we show that human behavior, inferred by a textual analysis of messages published on the social network {T}witter, is required to explain the epidemiological dynamics over time. {O}verall, our results suggest that human behavior has been a key component of the outbreak propagation, and we argue that such results can lead to more efficient public health strategies specifically targeting the propagation process.},
