Many of the most dangerous and easily transmitted infectious agents are viruses. The emergence of chikungunya virus globally and the recognition of this pathogen in the aetiology of chronic diseases show the need for a better understanding of how the virus cause disease. The expected outcomes are a better understanding of human alphaviral diseases, with a view to improving prevention and treatment strategies to reduce the disease burden of CHIKV and related viruses.

许多最危险和最容易传播的传染媒介是病毒。基孔肯雅病毒在全球范围内的出现以及在慢性病病因学中对这种病原体的认识表明，需要更好地了解病毒如何引起疾病。预期成果是更好地了解人类甲病毒疾病，以期改善预防和治疗策略，减少CHIKV和相关病毒的疾病负担。
