To examine relatedness of the Indian isolates of Chikungunya with Reunion Island isolates (RU), full-genome sequences of five CHIK virus isolates representative of different Indian states were determined and may help in understanding the association of the unique mutations with the explosive nature of the CHIK outbreak.

The results document varied prevalence of anti‐HEV antibodies in different animal species from India and of inability of Indian pigs and goats to support replication of at least one human strain of HEV.

Phylogenic analysis based on partial sequences of NS4 and E1 genes showed that all earlier isolates (1963–1973) were Asian genotype, whereas the current and Yawat (2000) isolates were African genotype.

This study documents circulation of WNV strains typical to India for 27 years and the introduction of lineage 1 strains during 1967-1968, indicating strongly that WNV should be classified into five genetic lineages, with Indian viruses constituting the distinct genetic lineage 5.

16 of the 17 epidemics of water-borne hepatitis in India were caused at least in part by serologically closely related hepatitis E viruses, however, one epidemic, in the Andaman Islands, and possibly a significant minority of cases in other epidemics, appears to have been caused by a previously unrecognized hepatitis agent.

Although HEV was less stable than was HAV, some HEV would most likely survive the internal temperatures of rare-cooked meat.

Full-genome sequence of Nipah virus amplified from lung tissue showed 99.2% nt and 99.8% aa identity with the Bangladesh-2004 isolate, suggesting a common source of the virus.

Serologic and molecular assays documented the absence of Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, dengue virus, and paramyxoviruses in clinical samples, and the etiologic agent was Chandipura virus, which has become an important ennceitis-causing virus in India.
