Complete genome sequence of a chikungunya virus isolated in Guangdong, China

J Virol. 2012 Aug;86(16):8904-5. doi: 10.1128/JVI.01289-12.

Abstract

Chikungunya virus belongs to the genus Alphavirus in the family Togaviridae. Here we report the complete genome sequence of a chikungunya virus strain, GD05/2010, isolated in 2010 from a patient with chikungunya fever in Guangdong, China. The sequence information is important for surveillance of this emerging arboviral infection in China.
