Sindbis viruses and other alphaviruses as cause of human arthritic disease
Abstract. Amongst the arthritis‐causing arboviruses, i.e. those spread by insects, the alphavirus group is of special interest. These viruses occasionally cause vast outbreaks, such as O'nyong‐nyong in Africa in 1959. In Fennoscandia, Sindbis‐related Ockelbo, Pogosta, or Karelian fever viruses...
