- Characterization of insect-specific Culex flavivirus (Flaviviridae) nucleotide sequences in mosquitoes from urban parks in Sao Paulo, Brazil(2022) COLETTI, Thais de Moura; ROMANO, Camila Malta; URBINATTI, Paulo Roberto; TEIXEIRA, Renildo Souza; PEDROSA, Leila Weiss de Almeida; NARDI, Marcello Schiavo; NATAL, Delsio; COSTA, Antonio Charlys da; JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; CLARO, Ingra Morales; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; WITKIN, Steven S.; MARRELLI, Mauro Toledo; FERNANDES, Licia NatalBackground: Despite their worldwide occurrence, the distribution and role of insect-specific flaviviruses (ISFs) remain unclear. Methods: We evaluated the presence of ISFs in mosquitoes collected in Sao Paulo, Brazil, using reverse transcription and semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Some of the positive samples were subjected to nanopore sequencing. Results: Twelve mosquito pools (2.8%) tested positive for flavivirus infection. Nanopore sequencing was successfully performed on six samples. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these sequences into genotype 2 of Culex flavivirus (CxFV). Conclusions: The identification of CxFV genotype 2 at new locations in Sao Paulo highlights the importance of understanding the role of ISFs in mosquito vector competence.
- Importation and early local transmission of COVID-19 in Brazil, 2020(2020) JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; SACCHI, Claudio; CANDIDO, Darlan da Silva; CLARO, Ingra Morales; SALE, Flavia Cristina Silva; MANULI, Erika Regina; SILVA, Daniela Bernardes Borges da; PAIVA, Terezinha Maria de; PINHO, Margarete Aparecida Benega; SANTOS, Katia Correa de Oliveira; HILL, Sarah Catherine; AGUIAR, Renato Santana; ROMERO, Filipe; SANTOS, Fabiana Cristina Pereira dos; GONCALVES, Claudia Regina; TIMENETSKY, Maria do Carmo; QUICK, Joshua; CRODA, Julio Henrique Rosa; OLIVEIRA, Wanderson de; RAMBAUT, Andrew; PYBUS, Oliver G.; LOMAN, Nicholas J.; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; FARIA, Nuno RodriguesWe conducted the genome sequencing and analysis of the first confirmed COVID-19 infections in Brazil. Rapid sequencing coupled with phylogenetic analyses in the context of travel history corroborate multiple independent importations from Italy and local spread during the initial stage of COVID-19 transmission in Brazil.
- 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.
- 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.
- Yellow fever transmission in non-human primates, Bahia, Northeastern Brazil(2020) JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; GRAF, Tiago; GIOVANETTI, Marta; MARES-GUIA, Maria Angelica; XAVIER, Joilson; MAIA, Maricelia Lima; FONSECA, Vagner; FABRI, Allison; SANTOS, Roberto Fonseca dos; PEREIRA, Felicidade Mota; SANTOS, Leandro Ferraz Oliveira; SILVA, Luciana Reboredo de Oliveira da; MAIA, Zuinara Pereira Gusmao; CERQUEIRA, Jananci Xavier Gomes; THEZE, Julien; ABADE, Leandro; CORDEIRO, Mirza de Carvalho Santana; TORQUATO, Sintia Sacramento Cerqueira; SANTANA, Eloisa Bahia; SILVA, Neuza Santos de Jesus; DOURADO, Rosemary Sarmento Oiticica; ALVES, Ademilson Bras; GUEDES, Adeilde do Socorro; SILVA FILHO, Pedro Macedo da; FARIA, Nuno Rodrigues; ALBUQUERQUE, Carlos F.

Here we report the introduction of the virus in the state of Bahia suggesting two independent introductions from Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo. We also highlight the actions taken by epidemiological surveillance division that may have prevent human infections. Yellow fever virus (YFV) causes a clinical syndrome of acute hemorrhagic hepatitis. YFV transmission involves non-human primates (NHP), mosquitoes and humans. By late 2016, Brazil experienced the largest YFV outbreak of the last 100 years, with 2050 human confirmed cases, with 681 cases ending in death and 764 confirmed epizootic cases in NHP. Among affected areas, Bahia state in Northeastern was the only region with no autochthonous human cases. By using next generation sequence approach, we investigated the molecular epidemiology of YFV in NHP in Bahia and discuss what factors might have prevented human cases. We investigated 47 YFV positive tissue samples from NHP cases to generate 8 novel YFV genomes. ML phylogenetic tree reconstructions and automated subtyping tools placed the newly generated genomes within the South American genotype I (SA I). Our analysis revealed that the YFV genomes from Bahia formed two distinct well-supported phylogenetic clusters that emerged most likely of an introduction from Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo states. Vegetation coverage analysis performed shows predominantly low to medium vegetation coverage in Bahia state. Together, our findings support the hypothesis of two independent YFV SA-I introductions. We also highlighted the effectiveness of the actions taken by epidemiological surveillance team of the state to prevented human cases.
- Genomic Surveillance of Yellow Fever Virus Epizootic in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2016-2018(2020) HILL, Sarah C.; SOUZA, Renato de; THEZE, Julien; CLARO, Ingra; AGUIAR, Renato S.; ABADE, Leandro; SANTOS, Fabiana C.

T. de; RAMOS, Patricia L.; ABREU, Andre L. de; CRUZ, Laura N.; LOMAN, Nick; DELLICOUR, Simon; PYBUS, Oliver G.; SABINO, Ester C.; FARIA, Nuno R.Sao Paulo, a densely inhabited state in southeast Brazil that contains the fourth most populated city in the world, recently experienced its largest yellow fever virus (YFV) outbreak in decades. YFV does not normally circulate extensively in Sao Paulo, so most people were unvaccinated when the outbreak began. Surveillance in non-human primates (NHPs) is important for determining the magnitude and geographic extent of an epizootic, thereby helping to evaluate the risk of YFV spill over to humans. Data from infected NHPs can give more accurate insights into YFV spread than when using data from human cases alone. To contextualise human cases, identify epizootic foci and uncover the rate and direction of YFV spread in Sao Paulo, we generated and analysed virus genomic data and epizootic case data from NHP in Sao Paulo. We report the occurrence of three spatiotemporally distinct phases of the outbreak in Sao Paulo prior to February 2018. We generated 51 new virus genomes from YFV positive cases identified in 23 different municipalities in Sao Paulo, mostly sampled from NHPs between October 2016 and January 2018. Although we observe substantial heterogeneity in lineage dispersal velocities between phylogenetic branches, continuous phylogeographic analyses of generated YFV genomes suggest that YFV lineages spread in Sao Paulo at a mean rate of approximately 1km per day during all phases of the outbreak. Viral lineages from the first epizootic phase in northern Sao Paulo subsequently dispersed towards the south of the state to cause the second and third epizootic phases there. This alters our understanding of how YFV was introduced into the densely populated south of Sao Paulo state. Our results shed light on the sylvatic transmission of YFV in highly fragmented forested regions in Sao Paulo state and highlight the importance of continued surveillance of zoonotic pathogens in sentinel species.
