Chandipura vesiculovirus (CHPV) is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family that is associated with an encephalitic illness, Chandipura encephalitis or Chandipura viral encephalitis, in humans. It was first identified in 1965 after isolation from the blood of two patients from Chandipura village in Maharashtra state, India[2] and has been associated with a number of outbreaks of encephalitic illness in central India.
In India and West Africa Chandipura vesiculovirus was isolated from sandflies which spread the virus.[3][4]
