Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are two emerging arboviruses. CHIKV has recently re-emerged, causing massive epidemics that have moved from Africa throughout the Indian Ocean to India and Southeast Asia. In humans, it is responsible for an acute disease, characterized by a triad of fever, arthralgia and maculopapular rash. [1] Regarding the dengue fever, it affects more than 50 million people annually. [2] Increasing mortality and geographical expansion are the drastic changes noted in the recent epidemiology of the disease. No specific antiviral therapy is currently available, on the market, for these two diseases.
