Chikungunya Fever, Mauritius, 2006

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: When an outbreak of chikungunya fever swept across several Indian Ocean islands in 2005 and 2006, the international public health community’s attention was drawn to chikungunya virus (genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae). Among those areas affected was the Republic of Mauritius, located ≈900 km east of Madagascar, which has an estimated

Molecular and Clinical Characterization of Chikungunya Virus Infections in Southeast Mexico

Viruses, 2018
Chikungunya fever is an arthropod-borne infection caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Even though clinical features of Chikungunya fever in the Mexican population have been described before, there is no detailed information. The aim of this study was to

Chik Sign: A Clinical Clue to Chikungunya Infection- A Case Series [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Chikungunya, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, manifests with fever, joint pain, and a distinctive cutaneous feature known as the “Chik sign” or “Brownie nose.” The Chik sign is an asymptomatic freckled hyperpigmentation of the tip and ala of the nose and

Chikungunya virus nonstructural protein 2 inhibits type I/II interferon-stimulated JAK-STAT signaling [PDF]

, 2010
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging human pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes. Like that of other alphaviruses, CHIKV replication causes general host shutoff, leading to severe cytopathicity in mammalian cells, and inhibits the ability of infected ...

Development of Vaccines for Chikungunya Fever [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Chikungunya fever, an acute and often chronic arthralgic disease caused by the mosquito-borne chikungunya virus (CHIKV), has reemerged since 2004 to cause millions of cases. Because CHIKV exhibits limited antigenic diversity and is not known to be capable of reinfection, a vaccine could serve to both prevent disease and diminish human amplification ...

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Impact of Wolbachia on infection with chikungunya and yellow fever viruses in the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti [PDF]

, 2012
Incidence of disease due to dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV) and yellow fever (YFV) viruses is increasing in many parts of the world. The viruses are primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti, a highly domesticated mosquito species that is notoriously ...

IL-1beta, IL-6, and RANTES as biomarkers of Chikungunya severity.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundLittle is known about the immunopathogenesis of Chikungunya virus. Circulating levels of immune mediators and growth factors were analyzed from patients infected during the first Singaporean Chikungunya fever outbreak in early 2008 to establish
