Abstract_ Since 2004 several million indigenous cases of Chikungunya virus disease occurred in Africa the Indian Ocean India Asia and recently Europe. The virus usually transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes has now repeatedly been associated with a new vector Ae. Albopictus. Analysis of fulllength viral sequences reveals three independent events of virus exposure to Ae. Albopictus each followed by the acquisition of a single adaptive mutation providing selective advantage for transmission by this mosquito. This disconcerting and current unique example of evolutionary .
