Publisher Description

The Chandipura virus was discovered in 1966 by Bhatt and Rodrigues, scientists of the Virus Research Centre (VRC) established by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1952 in Poona (now Pune) (1). They were investigating persons with fever in Chandipura in northern Maharashtra, near Nagpur, for dengue or chikungunya virus aetiology (1). The virus thus detected was hitherto unknown, and Bhatt and Rodrigues named it Chandipura after the geographic location of its discovery (1). In 1967 VRC was handed over to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) which renamed it as the National Institute of Virology (NIV). The main focus of VRC was to identify and document all Indian 'arboviruses' (arthropod-borne viruses--viruses of different families and genera that are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropod vectors--insects and ticks).
