Emerging infectious diseases, 2013•ncbi.nlm.nih.govAbstract In 2012, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was reported for the first time in Bhutan. IgM
ELISA results were positive for 36/210 patient samples; PCR was positive for 32/81.
Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that Bhutan CHIKV belongs to the East/Central/South
African genotype. Appropriate responses to future outbreaks require a system of
surveillance and improved laboratory capacity.

Abstract
In 2012, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was reported for the first time in Bhutan. IgM ELISA results were positive for 36/210 patient samples; PCR was positive for 32/81. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that Bhutan CHIKV belongs to the East/Central/South African genotype. Appropriate responses to future outbreaks require a system of surveillance and improved laboratory capacity.
