In late 2013 the Caribbean had its first case of the mosquito-bourne chikungunya virus. Today there have been almost 1.2 million cases in 44 countries or territories, including 207 cases in 32 U.S. states. Vanderbilt University Medical Center's James Crowe, M.D., Ann Scott Carell Professor and director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center, and his team are reporting the first large panel of antibody treatments against this disease in the current issue of Cell Host & Microbe.
