A Chandipura virus outbreak in Gujarat has raised serious public-health concerns after 22 child deaths were reported during the 2026 monsoon season. Gujarat has recorded 184 suspected cases so far, of which 35 have tested positive, while the results of 11 samples are awaited. All affected patients are reportedly below 15 years of age.
In this video, we explain what the Chandipura virus is, how it spreads through sandflies and other insect vectors, and why it primarily affects children. We also discuss Chandipura encephalitis, a severe condition that causes inflammation of the brain and may rapidly lead to seizures, altered consciousness, coma and multiple-organ complications.
The virus was first identified in 1965 in Chandipura village in Maharashtra. With cases being reported from different parts of Gujarat, health authorities have intensified surveillance, pesticide spraying and sandfly-control measures. Paediatric hospitals have also been instructed to immediately admit children showing symptoms of the infection for specialised and supportive treatment.
This topic is important for UPSC aspirants under Science and Technology, Public Health, Viral Diseases, Vector-Borne Diseases, Disaster Management and Current Affairs.
