Circulation of Chikungunya virus in Gabon, 2006-2007

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 80, No. 3, Year 2008

This study reports the first isolation and partial genetic characterization of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) from patients during a 2006-2007 dengue-like syndrome outbreak in Gabon. The isolated viruses were phylogenetically close to strains isolated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 7 years ago and to strains isolated more recently in Cameroon. These results indicate a continuing circulation of a genetically stable CHIKV population during 7 years in Central Africa. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
