We report the isolation of chikungunya virus from a patient during an outbreak of a
denguelike syndrome in Cameroon in 2006. The virus was phylogenetically grouped in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo cluster, indicating a continuous circulation of a
genetically similar chikungunya virus population during 6 years in Central Africa.

Abstract
We report the isolation of chikungunya virus from a patient during an outbreak of a denguelike syndrome in Cameroon in 2006. The virus was phylogenetically grouped in the Democratic Republic of the Congo cluster, indicating a continuous circulation of a genetically similar chikungunya virus population during 6 years in Central Africa.
