There is currently no system to track the emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) subtypes. We developed a surveillance able retrieve sequence submissions and further classify distinct ZIKV genotypes in world. This approach was detect new occurrence from an African lineage Brazil 2019.

The clinical manifestations of microcephaly/congenital Zika syndrome (microcephaly/CZS) have harmful consequences on the child's health, increasing vulnerability to childhood morbidity and mortality. This study analyzes case fatality rate child-maternal characteristics cases deaths related microcephaly/CZS in Brazil, 2015-2017. Population-based developed by linkage three information systems. We estimate frequencies cases, deaths, according child maternal causes death. Multivariate logistic...

The co-circulation of different arboviruses in the same time and space poses a significant threat to public health given their rapid geographic dispersion serious health, social, economic impact. Therefore, it is crucial have high quality case registration estimate real impact each population. In this work, Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model was developed investigate interrelationships between discarded confirmed cases dengue, chikungunya, Zika Brazil. We used data from Brazilian National...

Children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) have severe damage to the peripheral and central nervous system (CNS), greatly increasing risk of death. However, there is no information on sequence underlying, intermediate, immediate, contributing causes deaths among these children. The aims this study are describe events leading death children CZS up 36 months age their probability dying from a given cause, 2015 2018.In population-based study, we linked administrative data live births, deaths,...

Zika virus (ZIKV) became a worldwide public health emergency after its introduction in the Americas. Brazil was implicated as central ZIKV dispersion, however, better understanding of pathways took to arrive and dispersion within country is needed. An updated genome dataset assembled with publicly available data. Bayesian phylogeography methods were applied reconstruct spatiotemporal history Americas more detail inside Brazil. Our analyses reconstructed Brazilian state Pernambuco likely...

Abstract Zika virus was responsible for the microcephaly epidemic in Brazil which began October 2015 and brought great challenges to scientific community health professionals terms of diagnosis classification. Due difficulties correctly identifying cases, it is necessary develop an automatic procedure classify probability a CZS case from clinical data. This work presents machine learning algorithm capable achieving this structured unstructured available The proposed reached 83% accuracy with...

This study aims to describe clinical findings and determine the medium-term survival of congenital zika syndrome (CZS) suspected cases.A retrospective cohort using routine register-based linked data. It included all cases CZS born in Brazil from January 1, 2015, December 31, 2018, followed up birth until death, 36 months, or whichever came first. Latent class analysis was used cluster unconfirmed into classes with similar combinations anthropometry at birth, imaging findings, maternally...

Since the beginning of SARS-CoV-2 spread in Brazil, few studies have been published analysing variability viral genome. Herein, we described dynamic strains circulating Brazil from May to September 2020, better understand changes that may affect ongoing pandemic. Our data demonstrate some mutations identified are currently observed variants interest and concern, emphasize importance studying previous periods order comprehend emergence new variants. From 720 genome sequences, found sites...
