Analysis of the recent Indian epidemic has suggested that the increased severity of the disease is due to a change in the genetic sequence, altering the virus’ coat protein, which potentially allows it to multiply more easily in mosquito cells*.

Q. Can a woman suffering from early signs of Chikungunya breast feed her month old baby?
A. It is better if you do not. During very early stages fever there is viremia. And some of the virus may be present in the breast milk. As in newborns the immune system is not mature particularly monocyte-macrophages system, these cells may not be able to take care of the ingested virus absorbed through mucous membranes.
