Abstract excerpt

This report describes the first isolation and molecular characterisation of a chikungunya virus from two German tourists who became ill after a visit to the Maldives in September 2009. The virus contained the E1 A226V mutation, shown to be responsible for an adaptation to the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus. The E1 coding sequence was identical to chikungunya virus isolates from Sri Lanka and showed three...
