Chikungunya virus in Nigeria: A re-emerging threat obscured by diagnostic gaps [PDF]

open access: yes
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is re-emerging in Nigeria, but diagnostic and surveillance gaps obscure its true burden. A narrative review of literature and surveillance data (1969–2024) identified consistent serologic and entomologic evidence of CHIKV ...

Imidazonaphthyridine effects on Chikungunya virus replication: Antiviral activity by dependent and independent of interferon type 1 pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes Chikungunya fever, a disease characterized by symptoms such as arthralgia/polyarthralgia. Currently, there are no antivirals approved against CHIKV, emphasizing the need to develop novel therapies.

Characterization of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from Chikungunya virus and discovery of a novel ligand as a potential drug candidate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is the causative agent of Chikungunya fever, an acute febrile and arthritogenic illness with no effective treatments available. The development of effective therapeutic strategies could be significantly accelerated with detailed

Diagnostic Accuracy of Real Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for Chikungunya Virus Detection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus that causes an acute febrile illness with intense muscle and joint pain, with the possibility of progressing to a chronic or neurological stage. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis with the aim of evaluating the accuracy of real‐time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain ...

HLA class I restriction as a possible driving force for Chikungunya evolution.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
After two decades of quiescence, epidemic resurgence of Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) was reported in Africa, several islands in the Indian Ocean, South-East Asia and the Pacific causing unprecedented morbidity with some cases of fatality. Early phylogenetic

An international study on emerging arboviral infections and blood safety

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging and re‐emerging arboviral infections are a risk to blood safety. We conducted an international survey on how blood establishments respond to current and future arbovirus threats. Study Design and Methods A questionnaire on arbovirus donor deferral strategies, pathogen reduction, and donation screening was distributed to ...

Antibody-mediated enhancement aggravates chikungunya virus infection and disease severity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The arthropod-transmitted chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes a flu-like disease that is characterized by incapacitating arthralgia. The re-emergence of CHIKV and the continual risk of new epidemics have reignited research in CHIKV pathogenesis.
