genomic and phylogenetic characterization of brazilian yellow fever virus strains.globally, yellow fever virus infects nearly 200,000 people, leading to 30,000 deaths annually. although the virus is endemic to latin america, only a single genome from this region has been sequenced. here, we report 12 brazilian yellow fever virus complete genomes, their genetic traits, phylogenetic characterization, and phylogeographic dynamics. variable 3' noncoding region (3'ncr) patterns and specific mutations throughout the open reading frame altered predicted secondary structures. our fin ...201223015713
arboviral diseases in the western brazilian amazon: a perspective and analysis from a tertiary health & research center in manaus, state of amazonas.the fundação de medicina tropical dr. heitor vieira dourado (fmt-hvd), located in manaus, the capital of the state of amazonas (western brazilian amazon), is a pioneering institution in this region regarding the syndromic surveillance of acute febrile illness, including arboviral infections. based on the data from patients at the fmt-hvd, we have detected recurrent outbreaks in manaus by the four dengue serotypes in the past 15 years, with increasing severity of the disease. this endemicity has ...201526061367
characterization of mitochondrial genome of haemagogus janthinomys (diptera: culicidae).haemagogus janthinomys is a mosquito of high importance in public health due its involvement on natural wild cycles of two important arboviruses in the brazilian amazon region: yellow fever virus (flaviviridae, flavivirus) and mayaro virus (togaviridae, alphavirus). here, we have sequenced and described all the mitochondrial genes for the hg. janthinomys species. the complete coding sequence is14 937 bp long and includes 37 functional genes, of which 13 codes for proteins, 22 for trna and 2 for ...201726709451
epidemic of jungle yellow fever in brazil, 2000: implications of climatic alterations in disease spread.seventy-seven human cases of sylvatic yellow fever were reported in brazil during the period january-june 2000. the first cases were reported 1 week after new year's day and originated at chapada dos veadeiros, a tourist canyon site in goiás state, near brasília, the brazilian capital. the laboratory procedures used for diagnoses included serology with an igm capture assay and plaque reduction neutralization test, virus isolation in suckling mice and c6/36 cells, and immunohistochemistry. all ca ...200111596099
