Spatio-temporal features, common vectors and clinical appearances made the viruses progressively inclined to bring about co-infection. Being an Asian as well as a tropical country, Bangladesh is more prone to experience outbreaks of dengue and chikungunya or in worst case scenario, the co-infection.

Likewise, the study delineated the present dengue and chikungunya co-infection scenario of Bangladesh to limit the potential risk and burden of such co-infection in public health care setting.
