New vaccine for the prevention of Chikungunya
Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes and is characterised by abrupt onset of fever with debilitating joint pain.
Unique selling point/competitive advantage
Currently, there is no cure or approved vaccine for prevention of Chikungunya. This new vaccine could help in preventing Chikungunya infection. It may also provide protection against other similar viruses.
