Abstract
Chikungunya virus is an alphavirus of the Togaviridae family, which causes a febrile illness with arthralgia in humans. We report here on the complete genome sequence of chikungunya virus strain CHIKV-13-112A isolated from a patient in the Philippines who was suspected to have dengue virus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the strain is of the Asian genotype.

Summary
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus that causes chikungunya fever. It is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. CHIKV occurs throughout the Philippines, with outbreaks reported in many provinces in 2012 to 2013 I dϭ[1 4 9 4 9 4 5] and http://www.promedmail.org/direct.php?idϭ1980717). We report the complete coding sequence of the Asian genotype strain CHIKV-13-112A isolated from a Filipino patient initially suspected to have dengue.
