“…While both CHIKV and Dengue virus cause febrile disease within the same geographical area, the prognosis of Dengue virus infection is much more severe (Queyriaux et al, 2008). Thus, laboratory confirmation of suspected cases is essential to launch control measures when an epidemic or endemic outbreak occurs.…”

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of antichikungunya virus (anti-CHIKV) antibodies in pregnant women living in an urban area of Benin (West Africa). Results were obtained by screening sera collected in 2006 and 2007 with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for anti-CHIKV immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM. Positive results were confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence test and microneutralization assay. We found that a large proportion (36.1%) of pregnant women living in Cotonou had specific IgG against CHIKV, indicating a high seroprevalence of the infection in urban southern Benin, whereas no active cases of CHIKV infection were detected.Arboviruses that are transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, such as dengue virus and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infections, are a global threat because of their rapid and abrupt spread worldwide and the infection-related disease burden.

RESUMENEn años recientes, con el movimiento de las poblaciones y la globalización, algunas infecciones y enfermedades han cambiado su patrón endémico por uno epidémico; es el caso del virus chikungunya, un arbovirus reemergente que ha activado las alarmas mundiales. Según datos de los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), de los Estados Unidos, hasta enero del 2015 se habían detectado más de un millón de casos sospechosos y alrededor de treinta mil habían sido confirmados por laboratorio en 42 países del Caribe, Centroamérica, Suramérica y Norteamérica. Según el Instituto Nacional de Salud de Colombia, el número total de casos de esta infección confirmados por clínica era de 231.392; por laboratorio se habían confirmado 1.528 y había 3.848 casos sospechosos, para un total general de 236.768. En esta revisión se incluyen los siguientes aspectos de la infección por el virus chikungunya: virología, transmisión por vector, patogenia, epidemiología, manifestaciones clínicas, pruebas de laboratorio, medidas de prevención y perspectivas futuras. PALABRAS CLAVEAedes; Alphavirus; Dengue; Virus Chikungunya SUMMARY Chikungunya virus in Colombia: Clinical and epidemiological aspects, and literature reviewIn recent years, with the movement of populations and with globalization, some infections and diseases have changed from endemic to epidemic in certain regions. Such is the case of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a re-emerging arbovirus that has triggered global alarm. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), until January 2015, there had been case reports from 42 countries in the Caribbean, and Central, South, and North America, with more than one million suspected cases and about thirty thousand laboratory-confirmed cases. The latest report in Colombia by Instituto Nacional de Salud refers to a total of 231.392 KEY WORDSAedes; Alphavirus; Chikungunya Virus; Dengue RESUMOVírus chicungunha na Colômbia: aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos e revisão da literatura
