This book describes the molecular biology, pathogenesis,
epidemiology, and potential strategies for control of chikungunya
virus (CHIKV) infection. It offers insight into the structure and
functions of CHIKV proteins as they relate to host response,
interaction with the arthropod vector, and vaccination. A detailed
account of both the epidemiological outlook and the clinical
syndrome of CHIKV infection is provided. The complex host-virus
interaction and the signaling pathways that mediate such
interactions are also covered. Throughout the book, graphics and
charts are used to provide stimulating discussion on important
findings in the field of chikungunyalogy. The chapters are written
with a global perspective by experts of CHIKV from around the
world. This project is especially significant given that CHIKV is a
pathogen of worldwide public health concern. Although the presence
of CHIKV infection is not global yet, worldwide dissemination is
predicted in the future due largely to the lack of effective
treatment/therapy, efficient control of transmission, and knowledge
about mechanisms of pathogenesis. Additionally, globalization of
CHIKV is predicated on its mode of dissemination (mosquito vector)
and cross border travel and migration.
