The emergence of the Brazilian variant concern, Gamma lineage (P.1), impacted epidemiological profile COVID-19 cases due to its higher transmissibility rate and immune evasion ability.
Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has spread across Brazil with varying incidence rates depending on the affected areas. Due to cocirculation of arboviruses and overlapping disease symptoms, CHIKV infection may be underdiagnosed. To understand lack epidemics in São José do Rio Preto (SJdRP), Paulo (SP), Brazil, we evaluated viral circulation by investigating anti-CHIKV IgG seroconversion a prospective study asymptomatic individuals detecting IgM suspected dengue infection, as well...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent of disease 2019 (COVID-19), is responsible for worst pandemic 21st century. Like all human coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 originated in a wildlife reservoir, most likely from bats. As has spread across globe humans, it spilled over to infect variety non-human animal species domestic, farm, and zoo settings. Additionally, broad range species, including one neotropical monkey, have proven be susceptible experimental infection...
The disease burden of yellow fever virus infection (YFV) is quite high in the tropics where vaccination coverage low. To date, most effective control strategy to mitigate and eliminate YF disease. licensed vaccines are safe serious adverse events rare. Herein, we report three cases neurological syndrome, compatible with meningoencephalitis following 17DD vaccination. In all cases, YFV-specific IgM antibodies were detected cerebrospinal fluid. Our observations confirm development...
The high transmissibility, rapid evolution, and immune escape of SARS-CoV-2 variants can influence the course infection and, in turn, morbidity mortality COVID-19, posing a challenge controlling transmission rates contributing to emergence spread new variants. factors that shape viral genetic variation are consequently essential for understanding evolution SARS-CoV-2, especially vaccinated individuals where response plays role progression this disease. This study assessed. In context, we...
Abstract The emergence of the new Brazilian variant concern, P.1 lineage (Gamma), raised concern about its impact on epidemiological profile COVID-19 cases due to higher transmissibility rate and immune evasion ability. Using 272 whole-genome sequences combined with data, we showed that introduction in São José do Rio Preto, Paulo, Brazil, was followed by displacement eight circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants a rapid increase prevalence two months after first detection. Our findings support is...
The high transmissibility, rapid evolution, and immune escape of SARS-CoV-2 variants can influence the course infection and, in turn, morbidity mortality COVID-19, posing a challenge controlling transmission rates contributing to emergence spread new variants. Understanding factors that shape viral genetic variation is essential for comprehending evolution SARS-CoV-2, especially vaccinated individuals where response plays role progression this disease. In context, we evaluated impact...
Since its emergence in 2019, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread worldwide and consumed public health resources. However, the world still to address burdens of other infectious diseases that continue thrive. Countries tropics neotropics, including Brazil, are affected by annual, cyclic dengue epidemics. Little is known about impact subsequent infections between DENV SARS-CoV-2. Our study was performed on 400 serum samples collected from laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients January...
Brazil is considered an epicenter for emerging and re-emerging arboviruses that significantly impact public health. The mid-sized city of São José do Rio Preto (SJdRP) in northwestern Paulo state hyperendemic arboviral diseases, with case numbers climbing each year. Only 45 cases chikungunya (CHIKV) were reported the from 2015 to 2022, indicating cryptic circulation this virus, but increased notably 2023. This study investigates use active entomological surveillance detect new arbovirus...
