Abstract

The article discusses the case of a 27-year-old male Swiss tourist who contracted a Mayaro virus (MAYV) infection during his July 2011 vacation in Tarapato, a city in the rainforests of the Amazon Basin in northern Peru. The man's symptoms included chills, malaise, myalgia, and a cervical and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Vector competence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes raised concerns over the potential emergence of MAYV's urban transmission.
