Abstract

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a widespread mosquito-borne virus representing a serious challenge to public health. The largest outbreak in the Middle-East was recorded in 2016-2017 in Pakistan.

The current study is aimed at investigating CHIKV infection in Sistan and Baluchistan Province.
