A human genome-wide loss-of-function screen identifies effective chikungunya antiviral drugs

Chikungunya virus is a mosquito transmitted untreatable emergent pathogen that causes joint pain and fever. Here the authors perform a host genome-wide loss-of-function screen to identify targets for chikungunya antiviral drugs and validate hits using a mouse model of chikungunya infection.
