Spatial–temporal distribution of chikungunya virus in Brazil: a review on the circulating viral genotypes and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus as a potential vector

Frontiers in Public Health
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is mainly transmitted by the invasive mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. However, genetic adaptations of the virus to the peri domestic mosquito vector Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus ...

Chikungunya Virus in Febrile Humans and Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes, Yucatan, Mexico

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was isolated from 12 febrile humans in Yucatan, Mexico, in 2015. One patient was co-infected with dengue virus type 1. Two additional CHIKV isolates were obtained from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes collected in the homes of patients.

A multiplex interactome of Ebola virus proteins reveals TM9SF2 as a cell‐surface attachment factor that promotes viral entry

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study generates a comprehensive Ebola virus (EBOV)‐human protein–protein interactome, comprising 1728 core high‐confidence interactions. Further interactome analysis revealed the potential association of EBOV glycoprotein (GP) with the host factor TM9SF2. Subsequent mechanistic investigations confirmed that TM9SF2 functions as an attachment factor

Clinical Manifestations Associated With RT‐PCR–Confirmed Zika Virus Infection Among Adults With Acute Rash in the Brazilian Amazon: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) infection remains a diagnostic challenge in regions where multiple arboviruses co‐circulate, particularly when laboratory testing is limited. Identifying distinguishing clinical features is therefore relevant for early case recognition. We conducted a cross‐sectional study including 1124 adults presenting with acute exanthema

Molecular and Serological Screening of West Nile and Usutu Virus in Birds and Humans: A Sentinel Study in Finland

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
We developed sensitive real‐time PCR assays for West Nile virus and Usutu virus to screen bird and human samples in Finland. Although no positive samples were detected, active migratory flyways and recent cases in neighbouring countries highlight the risk of future introduction and the need for continued surveillance.

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

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 ...

Cellular Attachment and Entry Factors for Chikungunya Virus

Viruses, 2019
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is clinically the most relevant member of the Alphavirus genus. Like alphaviruses in general, CHIKV has the capacity to infect a large variety of cells, tissues, and species.

Chikungunya Virus Diagnosis: A Review of Current Antigen Detection Methods

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV). CHIKV is expanding at an alarming rate, potentially spreading and establishing endemicity in new areas where competent vectors are present.
