摘　　要：Originally discovered in 1965 in Maharashtra,India,the Chandipura virus has become a serious hazard to public health,especially in rural areas.Acute encephalitis syndrome,which mostly affects children and has a high death rate,has been associated with Chandipura virus,an arbovirus largely spread by sandflies(Phlebotomus spp.).The virus was first thought to be a benign infection,but after many fatal outbreaks,most notably in Gujarat(2005 and 2024)and Andhra Pradesh(2003),it has come to light.The aggressiveness of the virus is highlighted by the quick development from fever to severe neurological symptoms,such as seizures and coma.Public health initiatives concentrate on vector management and supportive care because there is no particular antiviral medication or vaccine available.Recently,Gujrat has witnessed the biggest outbreak of Chandipura virus in 2024 and it may become a big health concern.This paper discusses about Chandipura virus and its recent cases.The virus’s propagation,which is made worse by climate change,makes future outbreaks of the virus more likely.The epidemiology,transmission,and clinical consequences of Chandipura virus are highlighted in this review,along with the necessity of more research,monitoring,and public health readiness to lessen its effects.
