Resumen

The mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus represents a global challenge due to ineffective preventive measures and unhealthy behaviors. This study underscores the urgency of effectively addressing this disease and developing robust prevention and control strategies at the global level. Its spread has increased markedly in recent decades, especially in the Americas and Peru. This study was based on a comprehensive review of the literature related to diagnostic methods and electronic devices for the detection of the Chikungunya virus. We use the Scopus platform and apply filters to identify relevant articles and papers. The results indicate steady growth in research on the diagnosis of the virus, with a peak of 156 publications in 2021. The United States and India led research into Chikungunya detection methods. In addition, international collaborations and a diversity of document types were identified, highlighting the breadth of approaches in this area. Funding for the research came from national and international institutions, highlighting the importance of developing effective detection methods, including biosensors and electrochemical techniques. It is concluded that it is essential to continue with an exhaustive review of articles in other databases, such as Web of Science, and to explore more effective detection methods in order to improve the detection and control capacity of the disease.
