ABVC Disease Alert Issue No. 11 | Chandipura vesiculorus (CHVP) in India
Time Period Covered September 02, 2024 - September 02, 2024
In a recent study on the historic outbreak of the Chandipura virus (CHPV) in India, the Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre (GBRC) achieved a significant milestone by completing the country's first-ever whole genome sequencing of CHPV. This breakthrough has enabled researchers to compare the virus's genetic material with earlier strains, leading to the identification of mutations that may account for the observed trends in the outbreak. Notably, this outbreak is the largest reported in the past two decades
