Origin, evolution, and phylogeography of recent epidemic CHIKV strains

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2012
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus of the Alphavirus genus, which is transmitted to humans by Aedes spp. mosquitoes and was firstly identified in Tanzania in the mid 1950s. In this article, the findings of a phylogenetic and phylogeographic analysis of the recent CHIKV pandemic are reported.

Conjugates of ibuprofen inhibit CHIKV infection and inflammation

Molecular Diversity, 2023
Chikungunya virus infection has become a global health concern because of its high rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with preexisting conditions. Inflammation and arthritis are the major symptoms of CHIKV that persist even after clearance of CHIKV.

Nonreciprocity in CHIKV and MAYV Vaccine-Elicited Protection

open access: yesVaccines
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a pathogenic arthritogenic alphavirus responsible for large-scale human epidemics for which a vaccine was recently approved for use. Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a related emerging alphavirus with epidemic potential with circulation overlap potential with CHIKV.

Development of Proniosome Gel Formulation for CHIKV Infection

open access: yesPharmaceutics
Given the increasing aging population and the rising prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases due to obesity and injury, urgent research is needed to formulate new treatment alternatives, as current options remain inadequate. Viruses can exacerbate arthritis and worsen symptoms in patients with pre-existing osteoarthritis.

A review targeting the infection by CHIKV using computational and experimental approaches

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2021
The rise of normal body temperature of 98.6 °F beyond 100.4 °F in humans indicates fever due to some illness or infection. Viral infections caused by different viruses are one of the major causes of fever. One of such viruses is, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is known to cause Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) which is transmitted to humans through the mosquitoes,

Development of a Specific CHIKV-E2 Monoclonal Antibody for Chikungunya Diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesVirologica Sinica, 2019
Chikungunya fever is a vector-borne viral disease transmitted to humans by chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-infected mosquitoes. There have been many outbreaks of CHIKV infection worldwide, and the virus poses ongoing risks to global health. To prevent and control CHIKV infection, it is important to improve the current CHIKV diagnostic approaches to allow for
