✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This study reports the first isolation and partial genetic characterization of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) from patients during a 2006–2007 dengue‐like syndrome outbreak in Gabon. The isolated viruses were phylogenetically close to strains isolated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 7 years ago and to strains isolated more recently in Cameroon. These results indicate a continuing circulation of a genetically stable CHIKV population during 7 years in Central Africa. J. Med. Virol. 80:430–433, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
