We characterized 01 autochthonous chikungunya virus (CHIKV) case from (The Gambia) through a newly implemented local arboviruses surveillance program in the, highlighting the first notification of the virus in the Country. Identified virus is closely related to CHIKV West African genotype detected in Kedougou (Senegal) in 2023 and responsible of a large outbreak with up to 300 confirmed cases. This work describes the first genomic proof subregional spread of CHIKV West African genotype in West Africa.
