Here, we present molecular detection and clinical metagenomic sequencing in 7 travellers returning from La Reunion and presenting with chikungunya. The viral load and the genomic signature of the novel lineage involved raise significant concerns for the risk of local circulation of the virus in more temperate regions such as Europe.
