dc.description.abstractChandipura virus (CHPV) is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family under the Vesiculovirus genus which poses a significant publi c health threat primarily in Asia. It was discovered during an outbreak in Maharashtra, India in 1965. CHPV is transmitted by sandflie s of the Phlebotomus genus, affecting predominantly children with acute encephalitis syndrome (AES). Clinical manifestations include f ever, seizures and neurological complications, often leading to high mortality rates. The management focuses on early detection, supportive care, and vector control strategies. Further research is needed to enhance understanding, vaccine development and effective public health inte rventions against this emerging pathogen .en_US
