TLDR
Sequence analysis of the viral genomes of imported and autochthonous isolates indicated new features for the potential emergence and spread of the chikungunya virus in Europe.Abstract:
In September 2010, autochthonous transmission of chikungunya virus was recorded in southeastern France, where the Aedes albopictus mosquito vector is present. Sequence analysis of the viral genomes of imported and autochthonous isolates indicated new features for the potential emergence and spread of the virus in Europe.read more

Prophylactic strategies to control chikungunya virus infection
TL;DR: In this article, a review on chikungunya virus (CHIKV) epidemiology, spread, infection, and diagnosis is presented, together with the strategies against emerging diseases, drug development and the possibilities of testing antivirals against CHIKV in vitro and in vivo.

Chapter 12 – Chikungunya Fever
TL;DR: Preparedness and mosquito control activities are important in countries where either Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus have been detected in order to reduce the risk of introduction of the Chikungunya fever virus and/or to reduce its impact in areas where it is already circulating.

TL;DR: In this article, an outbreak of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was reported in Italy, where the primary source of infection and modes of transmission were identified and an active surveillance system was also implemented.

A single mutation in chikungunya virus affects vector specificity and epidemic potential.
TL;DR: The observation that a single amino acid substitution can influence vector specificity provides a plausible explanation of how this mutant virus caused an epidemic in a region lacking the typical vector, and has important implications with respect to how viruses may establish a transmission cycle when introduced into a new area.

Present and future arboviral threats.
TL;DR: Viruses such as dengue (DENV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) that have lost the requirement for enzootic amplification now produce extensive epidemics in tropical urban centers, and climate warming could facilitate the expansion of the distributions of many arboviruses.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the chikungunya virus outbreak was initiated by a strain related to East-African isolates, from which viral variants have evolved following a traceable microevolution history and may be due to adaptation to the mosquito vector.
