- Phylogenetics, Epidemiology and Temporal Patterns of Dengue Virus in Araraquara, São Paulo State(2024) SOUZA, Caio Santos de; CALEIRO, Giovana Santos; CLARO, Ingra Morales; JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; COLETTI, Thais Moura; SILVA, Camila Alves Maia da; COSTA, Angela Aparecida; INENAMI, Marta; RIBEIRO, Andreia C.; FELIX, Alvina Clara; PAULA, Anderson Vicente de; FIGUEIREDO, Walter M.; LUNA, Expedito Jose de Albuquerque; SABINO, Ester C.; ROMANO, Camila M.Dengue virus (DENV) is a prominent arbovirus with global spread, causing approximately 390 million infections each year. In Brazil, yearly epidemics follow a well-documented pattern of serotype replacement every three to four years on average. Araraquara, located in the state of Sao Paulo, has faced significant impacts from DENV epidemics since the emergence of DENV-1 in 2010. The municipality then transitioned from low to moderate endemicity in less than 10 years. Yet, there remains an insufficient understanding of virus circulation dynamics, particularly concerning DENV-1, in the region, as well as the genetic characteristics of the virus. To address this, we sequenced 37 complete or partial DENV-1 genomes sampled from 2015 to 2022 in Araraquara. Then, using also Brazilian and worldwide DENV-1 sequences we reconstructed the evolutionary history of DENV-1 in Araraquara and estimated the time to the most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) for serotype 1, for genotype V and its main lineages. Within the last ten years, there have been at least three introductions of genotype V in Araraquara, distributed in two main lineages (L Ia and L Ib, and L II). The tMRCA for the first sampled lineage (2015/2016 epidemics) was approximately 15 years ago (in 2008). Crucially, our analysis challenges existing assumptions regarding the emergence time of the DENV-1 genotypes, suggesting that genotype V might have diverged more recently than previously described. The presence of the two lineages of genotype V in the municipality might have contributed to the extended persistence of DENV-1 in the region.
- SARS-CoV-2 reinfection caused by the P.1 lineage in Araraquara city, Sao Paulo State, Brazil(2021) ROMANO, Camila Malta; FELIX, Alvina Clara; PAULA, Anderson Vicente de; JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; ANDRADE, Pamela S.; CANDIDO, Darlan; OLIVEIRA, Franciane M. de; RIBEIRO, Andreia C.; SILVA, Francini C. da; INEMAMI, Marta; COSTA, Angela Aparecida; LEAL, Cibele O. D.; FIGUEIREDO, Walter Manso; PANNUTI, Claudio Sergio; SOUZA, William M. de; FARIA, Nuno Rodrigues; SABINO, Ester CerdeiraReinfection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-COV-2) has been reported in many countries, suggesting that the virus may continue to circulate among humans despite the possibility of local herd immunity due to massive previous infections. The emergence of variants of concern (VOC) that are more transmissible than the previous circulating ones has raised particular concerns on the vaccines effectiveness and reinfection rates. The P.1 lineage was first identified in December 2020 in Manaus city and is now globally spread. We report the first case of reinfection of SARS-CoV-2 caused by the P.1 variant outside of Manaus. The potential of these new variants to escape naturally and vaccine-induced immunity highlights the need for a global vigilance.
- Rapid viral metagenomics using SMART-9N amplification and nanopore sequencing(2023) CLARO, I. M.; RAMUNDO, M. S.; COLETTI, T. M.; SILVA, C. A. M. da; VALENCA, I. N.; CANDIDO, D. S.; SALES, F. C. S.; MANULI, E. R.; JESUS, J. G. de; PAULA, A. de; FELIX, A. C.; ANDRADE, P. D. S.; PINHO, M. C.; SOUZA, W. M.; AMORIM, M. R.; PROENCA-MODENA, J. L.; KALLAS, E. G.; LEVI, J. E.; FARIA, N. R.; SABINO, E. C.; LOMAN, N. J.; QUICK, J.Emerging and re-emerging viruses are a global health concern. Genome sequencing as an approach for monitoring circulating viruses is currently hampered by complex and expensive methods. Untargeted, metagenomic nanopore sequencing can provide genomic information to identify pathogens, prepare for or even prevent outbreaks. SMART (Switching Mechanism at the 5′ end of RNA Template) is a popular approach for RNA-Seq but most current methods rely on oligo-dT priming to target polyadenylated mRNA molecules. We have developed two random primed SMART-Seq approaches, a sequencing agnostic approach ‘SMART-9N’ and a version compatible rapid adapters available from Oxford Nanopore Technologies ‘Rapid SMART-9N’. The methods were developed using viral isolates, clinical samples, and compared to a gold-standard amplicon-based method. From a Zika virus isolate the SMART-9N approach recovered 10kb of the 10.8kb RNA genome in a single nanopore read. We also obtained full genome coverage at a high depth coverage using the Rapid SMART-9N, which takes only 10 minutes and costs up to 45% less than other methods. We found the limits of detection of these methods to be 6 focus forming units (FFU)/mL with 99.02% and 87.58% genome coverage for SMART-9N and Rapid SMART-9N respectively. Yellow fever virus plasma samples and SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal samples previously confirmed by RT-qPCR with a broad range of Ct-values were selected for validation. Both methods produced greater genome coverage when compared to the multiplex PCR approach and we obtained the longest single read of this study (18.5 kb) with a SARS-CoV-2 clinical sample, 60% of the virus genome using the Rapid SMART-9N method. This work demonstrates that SMART-9N and Rapid SMART-9N are sensitive, low input, and long-read compatible alternatives for RNA virus detection and genome sequencing and Rapid SMART-9N improves the cost, time, and complexity of laboratory work.
- Genomic detection of a virus lineage replacement event of dengue virus serotype 2 in Brazil, 2019(2020) JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; DUTRA, Karina Rocha; SALES, Flavia Cristina da Silva; CLARO, Ingra Morales; TERZIAN, Ana Carolina; CANDIDO, Darlan da Silva; HILL, Sarah C.; THEZE, Julien; TORRES, Celeste; D'AGOSTINI, Tatiana Lang; FELIX, Alvina Clara; REIS, Andreia F.

Most DENV cases in the Americas between January and July 2019 were reported in Brazil. Sao Paulo State in the southeast of Brazil has reported nearly half of all DENV infections in the country. OBJECTIVES To understand the origin and dynamics of the 2019 DENV outbreak. METHODS Here using portable nanopore sequencing we generated20 new DENV genome sequences from viremic patients with suspected dengue infection residing in two of the most-affected municipalities of Sao Paulo State, Araraquara and Sao Jose do Rio Preto. We conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis with 1,630 global DENV strains to better understand the evolutionary history of the DENV lineages that currently circulate in the region. FINDINGS The new outbreak strains were classified as DENV2 genotype III (American/Asian genotype). Our analysis shows that the 2019 outbreak is the result of a novel DENV lineage that was recently introduced to Brazil from the Caribbean region. Dating phylogeographic analysis suggests that DENV2-III BR-4 was introduced to Brazil in or around early 2014, possibly from the Caribbean region. MAIN CONCLUSIONS Our study describes the early detection of a newly introduced and rapidly-expanding DENV2 virus lineage in Brazil.
