Resumo: The mosquito-borne chikungunya virus, an alphavirus of the Togaviridae family, is responsible for acute polyarthralgia epidemics. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two chikungunya virus strains, InDRE04 - InDRE51, identified in the Mexican states of Jalisco - Chiapas in 2014. Phylogenetic analysis showed that both strains belong to the Asian genotype.
