The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $3,248,576 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of California, Davis. The grant, awarded on July 25, 2025, will fund research to understand the cross-protective efficacy of the recently FDA-approved IXCHIQ live attenuated chikungunya virus vaccine against other alphavirus species, assess the vaccine's infectivity and transmissibility in mosquitoes, and determine the impact of prior heterologous alphavirus infection on IXCHIQ-induced immunity and efficacy. The research aims to inform the consequences and public health implications of rolling out IXCHIQ in areas where other alphaviruses are endemic and where populations may have prior exposure to these viruses.
