A Novel Poxvirus-based Vaccine (MVA-CHIKV) is Highly Immunogenic and Protects Mice against Chikungunya Infection

TL;DR: MVA-CHIKV is an effective vaccine against chikungunya virus infection that induced strong, broad, highly polyfunctional, and long-lasting CHIKV-specific CD8+ T cell responses, together with neutralizing antibodies against CHikV.

A Systematic Meta-analysis of Immune Signatures in Patients With Acute Chikungunya Virus Infection

TL;DR: This is the first study that associated levels of CHIKV load with arthralgia as an indicator of acute chikungunya virus infection and revealed specific immune mediator signatures that can be used to better define CHikV infection.

Persistent Arthralgia Induced by Chikungunya Virus Infection is Associated with Interleukin-6 and Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor

TL;DR: The level of CHIKV viremia during the acute phase determined specific patterns of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which were associated with disease severity, and at the chronic phase, levels of IL-6, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor found to be associated with persistent arthralgia provide a possible explanation for the etiology of arthRALgia.

Dengue and chikungunya virus infection in man in Thailand, 1962-1964. IV. Epidemiologic studies in the Bangkok metropolitan area.

TL;DR: Observations suggest a low level of anthropophilia in these species in Thailand and the possibility of a biological barrier to transmission of arboviruses by them to man.

IL-1β, IL-6, and RANTES as Biomarkers of Chikungunya Severity

TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive report on the production of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors during acute Chikungunya virus infection, and it is shown that an increase in IL-1β, IL-6 and a decrease in RANTES were associated with disease severity.
