1 A Global Overview of the Chikungunya Virus Problem Ann M. Powers, Ph.D. Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

2 Chikungunya Virus Family Togaviridae,, genus Alphavirus Enveloped, single stranded RNA virus Plus-sense, sense, unsegmented genome of kilobases First isolated from human serum during outbreak in Tanganyika Distinct biological and transmission patterns between African and Asian strains Classical clinical presentation Fever Severe joint pain Rash (maculopapular( maculopapular)

3 Sylvatic CHIK Transmission Cycle Aedes furcifer, Aedes africanus chimpanzees, monkeys, baboons chimpanzees, monkeys, baboons Aedes furcifer, Aedes africanus

4 Urban CHIK Transmission Cycle Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus

5 Distribution of CHIKV prior to 1999

9 Kenya SUDAN ETHIOPIA UGANDA SOMALIA Nairobi Lamu Island Mombasa Indian ocean

10 Lamu Island Outbreak July 2004, unusual increase of malaria cases Severity of joint pains unusual 91% blood smears negative for Malaria Out of 10 sera, IgM Ab to CHIK detected in 3 sera

11 Early Findings At least 1300 suspected cases counted IgM ELISAs negative for Dengue, Yellow Fever, West Nile, RVF, and Sindbis CHIK infection diagnosis by IgM ELISA (60 cases) Virus isolation (22 cases) CHIK confirmed by genomic sequencing No deaths reported

12 Magnitude of Outbreak The attack rate was 75%. 13,500 persons (95% CI 12, ) 14328) infected. (Lamu population=18,000) 86% of cases hospitalized/ stayed home in bed for a mean of 7 days ( range ).
