Establishing a dengue genomic monitoring in Cuba: uncovering virus dynamics to ...
Pérez, Melissa; Álvarez, Mayling; Perez, Lissette; Benitez, Ana Julia; Serrano, Silvia; Adelino, Talita Emile Ribeiro; Fonseca, Vagner; Resik, SoniaBackground: A major dengue outbreak was reported by the Cuban Ministry of Health in 2022, highlighting the need for strong surveillance, with high pediatric cases showing warning signs. Using phylogenetic and epidemiologic approaches, we provide evidence toward a better understanding of dengue's recent transmission history. Methods: This study details the implementation of the genomic surveillance system for De...
Genomics-based timely detection of dengue virus type I genotypes I and V in Uru...
Morel, Noelia; Giovanetti, Marta; Fonseca, Vagner; Burgueño, Analía; Lima, Mauricio; Castro, Emerson; Guimarães, Natália R.; Iani, Felipe C. M.This study details a genomics-based approach for the early detection of mosquito-borne pathogens, marked by Uruguay's first ever complete genomic sequencing of Dengue Virus type I genotypes I and V. This pioneering effort has facilitated the prompt identification of these genotypes within the country, enabling Uruguayan public health authorities to develop timely and effective response strategies. Further integ...
North–south pathways, emerging variants, and high climate suitability character...
Miguel, Isaac; Feliz, Edwin P.; Agramonte, Robinson; Martinez, Pedro V.; Vergara, Carlos; Imbert, Yvonne; Cruz, Lucia De la; Castro, Nurys deBackground: Dengue fever remains a significant public health challenge in tropical and subtropical regions, with its transmission dynamics being influenced by both environmental factors and human mobility. The Dominican Republic, a biodiversity hotspot in the Caribbean, has experienced recurrent dengue outbreaks, yet detailed understanding of the virus's transmission pathways and the impact of climatic factors ...
Genomic and eco-epidemiological investigations in Uruguay reveal local Chikungu...
Burgueño, Analía; Giovanetti, Marta; Fonseca, Vagner; Morel, Noelia; Lima, Mauricio; Castro, Emerson; Guimarães, Natália R.; Iani, Felipe C. M.Uruguay experienced its first Chikungunya virus outbreak in 2023, resulting in a significant burden to its healthcare system. We conducted analysis based on real-time genomic surveillance (30 novel whole genomes) to offer timely insights into recent local transmission dynamics and eco-epidemiological factors behind its emergence and spread in the country.
