Molecular characterization of chikungunya viruses associated with outbreaks in Kenya from 2017 to 2020

2026-02-25

Abstract excerpt

In 2014, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infections were reported in Kilifi, Kenya, followed by a major outbreak in Mandera County in 2016. Since then, information regarding subsequent outbreaks in Kenya has been scarce. A study on the burden and etiologies of acute febrile illnesses (AFI) in Kenya reported an increase in CHIKV cases in Mombasa between December 2017 and December 2019. In January and February 2020, anoth...
