Extensive Evolution Analysis of the Global Chikungunya Virus Strains Revealed the Origination of CHIKV Epidemics in Pakistan in 2016 [PDF]
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus that causes epidemics widely in the world especially in the tropical and subtropical regions. Phylogenetic analysis has found that the CHIKV lineages were associated with the spatial and temporal distributions, which were related to the virus adaption to the major mosquito species and their ...

Seroprevalence of Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Infection on Lamu Island, Kenya, October 2004
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008An outbreak of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) disease associated with high fever and severe protracted arthralgias was detected in Lamu, Kenya, peaking in July 2004. At least 1,300 cases were documented. We conducted a seroprevalence study to define the magnitude of transmission on Lamu Island. We conducted a systematic cross-sectional survey.
