“…The viruses belong to two distinct families but share the same mosquito vectors, Aedes species. Mosquitoes can acquire DENV and CHIKV simultaneously after feeding on a co-infected patient or after two consecutive blood meals on viremic hosts 23 . Co-infected mosquitoes can transmit concomitantly DENV and CHIKV to subsequent hosts 24 , and this is likely to cause more severe symptoms than mono-infections 10 , 25 .…”

Mosquito-borne arboviruses are responsible for recent dengue, chikungunya, and Zika pandemics. The yellow-fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, plays an important role in the transmission of all three viruses. We developed a miRNA-based approach that results in a dual resistance phenotype in mosquitoes to dengue serotype 3 (DENV-3) and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses. The target viruses are from two distinct arboviral families and the antiviral mechanism is designed to function through the endogenous miRNA pathway in infected mosquitoes. Challenge experiments showed reductions in viral transmission efficiency of transgenic mosquitoes. Several components of mosquito fitness were examined, and transgenic mosquitoes with the PUb promoter showed minor fitness costs at all developing stages. Further development of these strains with gene editing tools could make them candidates for releases in population replacement strategies for sustainable control of multiple arbovirus diseases.

“…Furuya-Kanamori L, et al in 2016 reported that among the 98 countries where both chikungunya and dengue were documented, only 13 countries (Figure 1) had chikungunya-dengue co-infections including Angola, Gabon, India, Madagascar, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Saint Martin, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and Yemen. 1,6 Such co-infections have also been reported from Bangladesh. 3,4 As both dengue virus and chikungunya virus are transmitted by Aedes spp.…”

Chikungunya and dengue are the two most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral infections of global public health concern. Dengue is endemic in Bangladesh and here chikungunya is anemerging infection. Because of the spacio-temporal relationship between chikungunya virus and dengue virus, their co-existence and concurrent outbreaks are not unlikely. Here, we report two cases of chikungunya-dengue co-infections occurring among young Bangladeshi patients. Such co-infectionsneed special attention because pain management of chikungunyamay have adverse implications on patients with concurrent dengue infection.

A clinical report on mixed infection of malaria, dengue and chikungunya from New Delhi, India

et al. 2017

Arthropod-borne infections like malaria, dengue and chikungunya fever are transmitted by mosquitoes. The present report describes an unusual case of mixed infection with malaria, dengue and chikungunya viruses in a 21 year old male patient from New Delhi, India during monsoon season of 2016. The malarial fever was diagnosed by thin slide microscopy and antigen test. Chikungunya virus IgM was detected in the sample by the card test. Dengue and chikungunya viruses were further confirmed by RT-PCR for CprM and E1 gene respectively. Phylogenetic analysis clustered the study dengue virus serotype 3 sequence in the genotype III. Thus, the mono infections can not be differentiated from concurrent infections on the basis of clinical symptoms, the appropriate laboratory diagnosis is essential for the accurate pathogen confirmation. Precise and appropriate identification of the multiple pathogens in such clinical cases will assist in the effective management of these arthropod mediated infections.
