2020-07-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was first identified in Tanzania in 1952. Several epidemics including East Africa are described, but there are no descriptions of longitudinal surveillance of endemic disease. Here, we estimate the incidence of CHIKV and describe viral phylogeny in coastal Kenya. <h4>Methods</h4> Over a 5-year period (2014-2018), 11,708 febrile illnesses in 5,569 chil...
