Reemergence of Chikungunya Virus in Cambodia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), probably Asian genotype, was first detected in Cambodia in 1961. Despite no evidence of acute or recent CHIKV infections since 2000, real-time reverse transcription PCR of serum collected in 2011 detected CHIKV, East Central ...

Using blood donor surveillance and clinical case data to shape our understanding of Babesia epidemiology in Manitoba, Canada

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 916-922, May 2026.
Abstract Background Babesia is a parasite transmitted by the Ixodes tick and has the potential to be transfusion transmitted. Climate change and changing Ixodes tick distributions in Canada raised questions about the impact of Babesia on the blood supply.

Three-way interactions between mosquito population, viral strain and temperature underlying chikungunya virus transmission potential [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceInteractions between pathogens and their insect vectors in nature are under the control of both genetic and non-genetic factors, yet most studies on mosquito vector competence for human pathogens are conducted in laboratory systems ...

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...

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

Development of a Reverse Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Amplification CRISPR/Cas12a Assay for Visual and Highly Specific Identification of Zika Virus

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV), a single‐stranded positive‐sense RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family (Flavivirus genus), causes acute febrile illness and severe congenital anomalies. Serological cross‐reactivity with Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) complicates diagnosis, underscoring the urgency of developing specific point‐of‐care tests

Immunogenicity, safety and duration of protection afforded by chikungunya virus vaccines undergoing human clinical trials [PDF]

Background. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes chikungunya fever and has been responsible for major global epidemics of arthritic disease over the past two decades. Multiple CHIKV vaccine candidates are currently undergoing or have undergone human clinical

Accurate Recapitulation of Chikungunya Virus Complete Coding Sequence Phylogeny Using Variable Genome Regions for Genomic Surveillance

Viruses
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by mosquito bites and causes chikungunya fever (CHIKF). CHIKV has a single-stranded RNA genome and belongs to a single serotype with three genotypes.

High level of vector competence of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from ten American countries as a crucial factor in the spread of Chikungunya virus. [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceChikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes a major public health problem. In 2004, CHIKV began an unprecedented global expansion and has been responsible for epidemics in Africa, Asia, islands in the Indian Ocean region, and surprisingly, in ...

Chikungunya Virus as Cause of Febrile Illness Outbreak, Chiapas, Mexico, 2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Since chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was introduced into the Americas in 2013, its geographic distribution has rapidly expanded. Of 119 serum samples collected in 2014 from febrile patients in southern Mexico, 79% were positive for CHIKV or IgM against CHIKV.
