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

Scientific 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

Chikungunya virus-induced autophagy delays caspase-dependent cell death [PDF]

, 2012
Autophagy is an important survival pathway and can participate in the host response to infection. Studying Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), the causative agent of a major epidemic in India, Southeast Asia, and southern Europe, we reveal a novel mechanism by ...

Novel Wide‐Spectrum Virucidal Lipid Nanoparticles

Small, EarlyView.
POSTAN is a novel broad‐spectrum antiviral nanoparticle that combines safety with potent virucidal activity. Composed of biocompatible lipids, it mimics heparan sulfate proteoglycans and lipid rafts exploited by viruses, thereby dismantling viral envelopes and blocking replication.

Dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus surveillance in blood donors in Brazil, 2019–2021

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Arbovirus infections are a major public health concern in Brazil and an ongoing blood safety concern. Periodic outbreaks of such infections are common in the general population. This study aimed to establish the rates of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus (DENV, CHIKV, ZIKV) RNAemia among blood donors at six public ...

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

PLoS 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

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

Journal 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,

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,
