Alphaviruses Detected in Mosquitoes in the North-Eastern Regions of South Africa, 2014 to 2018 [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The prevalence and distribution of African alphaviruses such as chikungunya have increased in recent years. Therefore, a better understanding of the local distribution of alphaviruses in vectors across the African continent is important.

Activation of the PI3K-AKT Pathway by Old World Alphaviruses
Cells, 2020 Alphaviruses can infect a broad range of vertebrate hosts, including birds, horses, primates, and humans, in which infection can lead to rash, fever, encephalitis, and arthralgia or arthritis.

Arthritogenic Alphaviruses: A Worldwide Emerging Threat?
Microorganisms, 2019 Arthritogenic alphaviruses are responsible for a dengue-like syndrome associated with severe debilitating polyarthralgia that can persist for months or years and impact life quality. Chikungunya virus is the most well-known member of this family since it

Replication of Alphaviruses: A Review on the Entry Process of Alphaviruses into Cells [PDF]
Advances in Virology, 2011 Alphaviruses are small, enveloped viruses, ~70 nm in diameter, containing a single-stranded, positive-sense, RNA genome. Viruses belonging to this genus are predominantly arthropod-borne viruses, known to cause disease in humans.
