Journal 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 ...

Challenges in Surveillance for Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) Infection
Online Journal of Public Health Informatics, 2015 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.
