Disease mapping is a spatial representation of epidemiology data. Chikungunya disease is an endemic mosquito-borne illness in many tropical and sub-tropical countries, including Malaysia. The disease is quite similar with the dengue disease. However, the Chikungunya virus is not fatal. Precautionary steps must be taken to avoid spreading the Chikungunya virus, which has increasing number of cases every year. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to discuss the suitable methods to estimate its relative risk. The methods involved using the number of Chikungunya cases itself and the Standardized Morbidity Ratio (SMR). SMR method is the most common method used in disease mapping studies. The results include disease risk maps for all states in Malaysia showing the distribution of high and low risk areas of Chikungunya disease.</p>}, journal={Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters}, author={Mohd Imam Ma’arof, Syafiqah Husna and Samat, Nor Azah}, year={2013}, month={Dec.}, pages={37–46} }
