Chikungunya virus infection: molecular biology, clinical characteristics, and epidemiology in Asian countries

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2021
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne human pathogen that causes chikungunya fever, which is typically accompanied by severe joint pain. In Asia, serological evidence indicated that CHIKV first emerged in 1954. From the 1950’s to 2005,

Molecular surveillance of Dengue Virus (DENV) and its co-infection with Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) among febrile patients: A comparative study from South Delhi, India

open access: diamondVirology Reports, 2021
AbstractConcomitant circulation of dengue and chikungunya viruses has been sporadically reported and needs to be individually diagnosed. Several sensitive molecular diagnostics are currently deployed for the diagnosis of both DENV and CHIKV, it is very difficult to delineate the two viral infections based on symptomology, as both share similar clinical

Differential unfolded protein response during Chikungunya and Sindbis virus infection: CHIKV nsP4 suppresses eIF2α phosphorylation [PDF]

open access: goldVirology Journal, 2013
Abstract Chikungunya (CHIKV) and Sindbis (SINV) are arboviruses belonging to the alphavirus genus within the Togaviridae family. They cause frequent epidemics of febrile illness and long-term arthralgic sequelae that affect millions of people each year.

Diagnosing the Outbreak and Spread of the Chikungunya Virus in Central & South America - The DARPA CHIKV Challenge

open access: goldJournal of Clinical and Biomedical Advances, 2023
In 2014, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a “challenge” to forecast the future outbreaks and spreads of the virus Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) in Central and South America. We took on the challenge of predicting the cumulative number of Pacific Atlantic Health Organization (PAHO) reported Chikungunya or CHIKV cases by ...

Chikungunya virus nsP3 & nsP4 interacts with HSP-90 to promote virus replication: HSP-90 inhibitors reduce CHIKV infection and inflammation in vivo

open access: greenAntiviral Research, 2014
The global emergence of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection is alarming and currently there is no licensed vaccine or antiviral treatment available to mitigate this disease. CHIKV infection typically results in high viral load with an outcome of high fever, skin rashes, muscle pain, and sequelae of prolonged arthritis, which occurs in >90% of the ...
