Both viruses are newly emerged pathogens that have recently become established in greatly expanded global ranges, to threaten hitherto unexposed populations. Epidemics since 2004 have spread from Africa and Asia to Europe and have caused millions of cases in the Americas. The viruses have probably established themselves in South and Central America permanently leaving millions at risk for future infection. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) causes severe crippling arthritis and symptoms that can last for months or years. Infections with Zika virus (ZIKV) have been associated with potentially fatal neurological symptoms notably to children of women infected during pregnancy. There are no approved vaccines or specific treatments available. Chikungunya and Zika viruses contributes significantly to our understanding of these pathogens. This dedicated monograph brings this combined knowledge together to provide a single up-to-date source of information.--$cSource other than the Library of Congress. 606 $aZika virus infection 606 $aChikungunya 606 $aMEDICAL / Clinical Medicine$2bisacsh 606 $aMEDICAL / Diseases$2bisacsh 615 0$aZika virus infection. 615 0$aChikungunya. 615 7$aMEDICAL / Clinical Medicine. 615 7$aMEDICAL / Diseases. 676 $a614.5885 702 $aVanlandingham$b Dana L. 702 $aPowers$b Ann M. 702 $aHiggs$b Stephen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583019303321 996 $aChikungunya and Zika viruses$92132351 997 $aUNINA
