Chikungunya in New-Caledonia
|
24/05/11 At the end of February 2011, the sanitary authorities of New Caledonia announced the first autochtonous case of Chikungunya on the territory. Since, near around thirty cases were biologically confirmed by the Institut Pasteur in New Caledonia (IPNC).
The IPNC in association with the National Reference Centre of Arbovirus, WHO collaborating Centre and the Genotyping of Pathogens and Public Health platform ( PF8), Institut Pasteur in Paris, proceeded to the molecular analysis of the virus from this first autochtonous case. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that this viral isolate belongs to the Asia lineage, which corroborates the Indonesian origin of the imported cases. Further investigations are currently in progress to assess the risk of a chikungunya epidemic in New Caledonia.
