Evaluation of the Antiviral Potential of Halogenated Dihydrorugosaflavonoids and Molecular Modeling with nsP3 Protein of Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV). [PDF]
Abstract Antiviral therapy is crucial for the circumvention of viral epidemics. The unavailability of a specific antiviral drug against the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) disease has created an alarming situation to identify or develop potent chemical molecules for remedial management of CHIKV.

Mathematical analysis and control of chikungunya (CHIKV) virus by SEIR model
Chikungunya is a re-emerging arboviral disease in Asia and Africa infected by Aedes mosquitoes which had posed a global threat in several countries. Vector borne diseases are the primary cause of death in most of the world countries, hence it becomes pertinent to control these vector borne diseases.

Analysis of Humoral Immune Responses in Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV)-Infected Patients and Individuals Vaccinated With a Candidate CHIKV Vaccine [PDF]
Abstract Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes severe flu-like symptoms. The acute symptoms disappear after 1 week, but chronic arthralgia can persist for years.

Treatment of Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Using Targeted Immunotherapy
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is the most common mosquito-borne Alphavirus infecting humans worldwide. Up to date, there are no antiviral treatments or vaccines approved to treat or prevent CHIKV for which treatments remain symptomatic based on clinical manifestations.

Optimum level of NEDD4 and its interaction with nsP3 are crucial to facilitate efficient Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection. [PDF]
Chikungunya is a febrile infection caused by the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an alphavirus which has emerged as a serious public health problem globally. Despite extensive research, our understanding of different host factors facilitating effective CHIKV infection is not clear yet. NEDD4, a member of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, is one such protein.

Attenuation and Stability of CHIKV-NoLS, a Live-Attenuated Chikungunya Virus Vaccine Candidate [PDF]
Our previous investigation of the nucleolar localisation sequence (NoLS) of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) capsid protein demonstrated the role of capsid in CHIKV virulence. Mutating the NoLS of capsid in CHIKV led to the development of a unique live-attenuated CHIKV vaccine candidate, termed CHIKV-NoLS.

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

Challenges in Surveillance for Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Infection
We describe challenges and lessons learned using biosurveillance methods for identifying Chikungunya (CHIKV) infections. Surveillance was performed using VA ESSENCE, electronic laboratory data and facility reports. As of Aug. 14, 2014, 21 confirmed/probable cases were identified at 10 hospitals.
