Stylized depiction of an enveloped virion with protruding spike glycoproteins characteristic of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a Togaviridae alphavirus. This extracellular infectious particle displays a lipid envelope studded with E1/E2 glycoprotein spikes overlying a nucleocapsid core, illustrating a protein complex within a whole virion (molecular-to-particle hierarchy) in the fields of virology and microbiology. Functionally, the E1/E2 complex mediates host-cell receptor binding and membrane fusion to initiate infection. The genome is positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA+), packaged within the capsid.
