Macropinocytosis dependent entry of Chikungunya virus into human muscle cells.
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging arbovirus known to cause chronic myalgia and arthralgia with high morbidity. CHIKV is now considered endemic in many countries across Asia and Africa. In this study, the susceptibility of various human, mammalian and mosquito cell lines to CHIKV infection w...
