1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes an infection that leads to the activation of the innate immune response, triggering receptor pathways such as toll-like receptors (TLRs). OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding toll-like receptors 3, 7, and 8 and IRF5 in susceptibility to CHIKV infection and persistent joint pain....
