Dynamics of Chikungunya Virus Cell Entry Unraveled by Single-Virus Tracking in Living Cells
25 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a rapidly emerging mosquito-borne human pathogen causing major outbreaks in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The cell entry pathway hijacked by CHIKV to infect a cell has been studied previously using inhibitory compounds. There has been some debate on the mechanism by which CHIKV enters the cell: several studies suggest that CHIKV enters via clathrin-mediated endocytosis,...
