Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a reemerging arbovirus, causes a crippling
musculoskeletal inflammatory disease in humans characterized by fever,
polyarthralgia, myalgia, rash, and headache. CHIKV is transmitted by Aedes
species of mosquitoes and is capable of an epidemic, urban transmission cycle
with high rates of infection. Since 2004, CHIKV has spread to new areas, causing
disease on a global scale, and the potential for CHIKV epidemics remains high.
Although CHIKV has caused millions of cases of disease and significant economic
burden in affected areas, no licensed vaccines or antiviral therapies are
available. In this Review, we describe CHIKV epidemiology, replication cycle,
pathogenesis and host immune responses, and prospects for effective vaccines and
highlight important questions for future research.
