Résumé
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus in the family Togaviridae, is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Of three known CHIKV genotypes, the Asian genotype was introduced into the Caribbean islands and rapidly spread throughout Central and South Americas. We previously found patients with symptoms compatible with chikungunya fever in 2014-2015 in Aruba, a Caribbean island of 180 km
