Popis
Shrnutí:Chandipura virus (CHPV) is an arthropod-borne virus linked to encephalitis in humans, primarily in India. Its evolutionary dynamics and transmission pathways remain poorly understood due to limited genomic data. This study analyzed 23 publicly available CHPV genomes, including isolates from humans, sandflies, and a hedgehog, retrieved from GenBank. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to explore host-specific and geographic evolutionary patterns. Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct evolutionary lineages. Human-derived genomes collected in India between 2003 and 2024 formed a well-supported monophyletic clade, suggesting a unique evolutionary lineage. In contrast, sandfly-derived genomes exhibited diverse clustering patterns. Notably, Kenyan sandfly isolates from 2016–2017 were phylogenetically closer to human-derived sequences, suggesting possible shared evolutionary pressures. These findings provide preliminary insights into CHPV evolution and emphasize the need for enhanced genomic surveillance in both human and non-human populations. Expanding genomic data is essential to validate these observations and inform public health strategies.
