What is Albopticus Adapted Chik about?
The 2017 chikungunya virus outbreak in Italy, which resulted in 436 confirmed cases, was caused by a strain from the Indian Ocean lineage (IOL) that adapted to the Aedes albopictus mosquito. Genetic analysis revealed a high sequence identity among the outbreak viruses, indicating their emergence from a cluster of Indian-origin IOL viruses. The findings highlight the need for improved monitoring and vector control measures in regions at risk of chikungunya transmission.
