Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging arbovirus associated with sporadic outbreaks in Cameroon since 2006. Viral whole genomes were generated to analyze the origins of evolutionary lineages, the potential of emergence/re-emergence, and to infer transmission dynamics of recent Cameroon CHIKV outbreak strains. METHODS: Samples collected between 2016 and 2019 during CHIKV outbreaks in Cameroon were...
