  abstract = {{C}hikungunya virus ({CHIKV}) and dengue virus ({DENV}) are mosquito-borne viruses transmitted by the {A}edes genus. {D}engue is considered as the most important arbovirus disease throughout the {W}orld. {C}hikungunya, known from epidemics in continental {A}frica and {A}sia, has up to now been poorly studied. {I}t has been recently responsible for the severe 2004-2007 epidemic reported in the {I}ndian {O}cean (10), which has caused several serious health and economic problems. {T}his unprecedented epidemic of the 10 has shown severe health troubles with morbidity and death associated, which had never been observed before. {T}he two major vectors of those arboviruses in the 10 area are {A}edes aegypti and {A}edes albopictus. {T}he latest is considered as the main vector in most of the islands of the area, especially in {R}eunion {I}sland. {A}e. albopictus showed strong ecological plasticity. {S}mall disposable containers {W}e're the principal urban breeding sites, and preferred natural developmental sites were bamboo stumps and rock holes in peri-urban and gully areas. {T}he virus has been isolated from field collecied {A}e. olbopictus females, and in two out of 500 pools of larvae, demonstrating vertical transmission. {E}xperimental works showed ihat both {A}e. albopictus and {A}e. aegypti from west 10 islands ore efficient vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses. {S}ince 2006 and all along the epidemic of {CHIKV}, measures for the control af larvae (temephos then {B}acillus thuringiensis) and adults (fenitrothion, then deltamethrine) of {A}e. olbopictus where applied along with individual and collective actions (by the use of repellents, and removal of breeding sites around houses) in {R}eunion {I}sland. {I}n order to prevent such epidemics, a preventive plan for arboviruses upsurge is ongoing processed. {T}his plan would allow a quicker response to the threat and adopt it according to the virus and its specific vector.},
