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

TL;DR: Intradermal arbovirus infection in a mouse model that replicates the arthritis and myositis seen in humans with Ross River virus disease results in musculoskeletal pathology, which is dependent on viral envelope N-linked glycosylation.

Development and Application of Treatment for Chikungunya Fever
TL;DR: The development and application of treatment for Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) remains complicated as there is no current standard treatment and many barriers to research exist as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) arrived in the USA in the 1980's and rapidly spread throughout the eastern USA within a decade as discussed by the authors , and the predicted northern edge of its overwintering distribution on the East Coast of the USA roughly falls across New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

The tiger mosquito in Lebanon two decades after its introduction: A growing health concern
TL;DR: The tiger mosquito was introduced to the Eastern region of the Mediterranean basin more than twenty years ago and became an established species and is now considered in many localities, a source of nuisance because of its human biting behavior.

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.
