| distinct zika virus lineage in salvador, bahia, brazil. | sequencing of isolates from patients in bahia, brazil, where most zika virus cases in brazil have been reported, resulted in 11 whole and partial zika virus genomes. phylogenetic analyses revealed a well-supported bahia-specific zika virus lineage, which indicates sustained zika virus circulation in salvador, bahia's capital city, since mid-2014. | 2016 | 27448188 |
| unrecognized emergence of chikungunya virus during a zika virus outbreak in salvador, brazil. | chikungunya virus (chikv) entered brazil in 2014, causing a large outbreak in feira de santana, state of bahia. although cases have been recorded in salvador, the capital of bahia, located ~100 km of feira de santana, chikv transmission has not been perceived to occur epidemically, largely contrasting with the zika virus (zikv) outbreak and ensuing complications reaching the city in 2015. | 2017 | 28114414 |
| trends of the microcephaly and zika virus outbreak in brazil, january-july 2016. | in the last two months, there have been indications that the zika virus epidemic is on the decline in brazil. we reviewed the surveillance data published by the brazilian ministry of health to assess trends of microcephaly and neurological abnormalities suggestive of congenital infection, as well as zika virus disease in brazil as a whole and its various regions. from november 2015 to july 2016, 8301 cases of microcephaly were reported in brazil, mainly in the northeast region. the number of new ... | 2017 | 27702683 |

| increase in reported prevalence of microcephaly in infants born to women living in areas with confirmed zika virus transmission during the first trimester of pregnancy - brazil, 2015. | widespread transmission of zika virus by aedes mosquitoes has been recognized in brazil since late 2014, and in october 2015, an increase in the number of reported cases of microcephaly was reported to the brazil ministry of health.* by january 2016, a total of 3,530 suspected microcephaly cases had been reported, many of which occurred in infants born to women who lived in or had visited areas where zika virus transmission was occurring. microcephaly surveillance was enhanced in late 2015 by im ... | 2016 | 26963593 |
| evidence of zika virus rna fragments in aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) field-collected eggs from camaçari, bahia, brazil. | a major mosquito-borne viral disease outbreak caused by zika virus (zikv) occurred in bahia, brazil, in 2015, largely due to transmission by the mosquito, aedes aegypti (l.). detecting zikv in field samples of ae. aegypti has proven problematic in some locations, suggesting other mosquito species might be contributing to the spread of zikv. in this study, several (five) adult aedes albopictus (skuse) mosquitoes that emerged from a 2015 field collection of eggs from camaçari, bahia, brazil, were ... | 2017 | 28419254 |
| zika virus in brazil and the danger of infestation by aedes (stegomyia) mosquitoes. | zika virus, already widely distributed in africa and asia, was recently reported in two northeastern brazilian: state of bahia and state of rio grande do norte, and one southeastern: state of são paulo. this finding adds a potentially noxious virus to a list of several other viruses that are widely transmitted by aedes (stegomyia) aegypti and aedes (stegomyia) albopictus in brazil. the pathology and epidemiology, including the distribution and vectors associated with zika virus, are reviewed. th ... | 2016 | 26689277 |
| coinfections of zika and chikungunya viruses in bahia, brazil, identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing. | metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mngs) of samples from 15 patients with documented zika virus (zikv) infection in bahia, brazil, from april 2015 to january 2016 identified coinfections with chikungunya virus (chikv) in 2 of 15 zikv-positive cases by pcr (13.3%). while generally nonspecific, the clinical presentation corresponding to these two chikv/zikv coinfections reflected infection by the virus present at a higher titer. aside from chikv and zikv, coinfections of other viral pathogens ... | 2016 | 27413190 |
| projecting month of birth for at-risk infants after zika virus disease outbreaks. | the marked increase in infants born with microcephaly in brazil after a 2015 outbreak of zika virus (zika virus) disease suggests an association between maternal zika virus infection and congenital microcephaly. to project the timing of delivery of infants born to mothers infected during early pregnancy in 1 city in bahia state, brazil, we incorporated data on reported zika virus disease cases and microcephaly cases into a graphical schematic of weekly birth cohorts. we projected that these birt ... | 0 | 27088494 |
