Chikungunya virus emerged on Saint-Martin Island in the Caribbean in late 2013. Since then in July of 2104 Venezuela reported autochthonous cases. This study reports the first phylogenetic characterization of CHIKV autochthonous cases in Venezuela, 2014. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the CHIKV circulating in Venezuela (Aragua state) belong to the Asian genotype (Caribbean clade) and it is related to viruses that circulated in the same year in the Caribbean.
基孔肯雅病毒于2013年末在加勒比地区的圣马丁岛出现。此后，在2014年7月，委内瑞拉报告了本土病例。本研究报告了2014年委内瑞拉基孔肯雅病毒本土病例的首次系统发育特征。系统发育分析表明，在委内瑞拉（阿拉瓜州）传播的基孔肯雅病毒属于亚洲基因型（加勒比分支），并且与同年在加勒比地区传播的病毒有关。
