    (2022) NASTRI, Ana Catharina; DUARTE-NETO, Amaro Nunes; CASADIO, Luciana Vilas Boas; SOUZA, William Marciel de; CLARO, Ingra M.; MANULI, Erika R.; SELEGATTO, Gloria; SALOMA, Matias C.; FIALKOVITZ, Gabriel; TABORDA, Mariane; ALMEIDA, Bianca Leal de; MAGRI, Marcello C.; GUEDES, Ana Rubia; NETO, Laura Vieira Perdigao; SATAKI, Fatima Mitie; GUIMARAES, Thais; MENDES-CORREA, Maria Cassia; TOZETTO-MENDOZA, Tania R.; FUMAGALLI, Marcilio Jorge; HO, Yeh-Li; SILVA, Camila ALves Maia da; COLETTI, Thais M.; JESUS, Jacqueline Goes de; ROMANO, Camila M.; HILL, Sarah C.; PYBUS, Oliver; PINHO, Joao Renato Rebello; LEDESMA, Felipe Lourenco; CASAL, Yuri R.; KANAMURA, Cristina; ARAUJO, Leonardo Jose Tadeu de; FERREIRA, Camila Santos da Silva; GUERRA, Juliana Mariotti; FIGUEIREDO, Luiz Tadeu Moraes; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; FARIA, Nuno R.; SABINO, Ester C.; AVANCINI, Venacio; ALVES, Ferreira; LEVIN, Anna S.
    Background: Only two naturally occurring human Sabi ' a virus (SABV) infections have been reported, and those occurred over 20 years ago. Methods: We diagnosed two new cases of SABV infection using metagenomics in patients thought to have severe yellow fever and described new features of histopathological findings. Results: We characterized clinical manifestations, histopathology and analyzed possible nosocomial transmission. Patients presented with hepatitis, bleeding, neurological alterations and died. We traced twenty-nine hospital contacts and evaluated them clinically and by RT-PCR and neutralizing antibodies. Autopsies uncovered unique features on electron microscopy, such as hepatocyte ""pinewood knot"" lesions. Although previous reports with similar New-World arenavirus had nosocomial transmission, our data did not find any case in contact tracing. Conclusions: Although an apparent by rare, Brazilian mammarenavirus infection is an etiology for acute hemorrhagic fever syndrome. The two fatal cases had peculiar histopathological findings not previously described. The virological diagnosis was possible only by contemporary techniques such as metagenomic assays. We found no subsequent infections when we used serological and molecular tests to evaluate close contacts.

    First case report of monkeypox in Brazil: clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis with sexually transmitted infections
    (2022) LIMA, Evelyn Lepka de; BARRA, Luiz Alberto Costa; BORGES, Luciana Marques Sansao; MEDEIROS, Lucas Alberto; TOMISHIGE, Marcia Y. S.; SANTOS, Lucas de Souza Loureiro Abbud; SILVA, Anderson Jose Dias da; RODRIGUES, Camila Cristina Martini; AZEVEDO, Luiz Cesar Fernandes de; VILLAS-BOAS, Lucy Santos; SILVA, Camila Alves Maia da; COLETTI, Thais Moura; MANULI, Erika R.; CLARO, Ingra Morales; ROMANO, Camila Malta; RAMUNDO, Mariana Severo; MOUTINHO, Tomas; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; LINDOSO, Jose Angelo Lauletta; FIGUEIREDO-MELLO, Claudia
    In 2022, an outbreak of monkeypox is being reported in non-endemic areas, with unusual clinical manifestations. The detailed clinical description of the first patient that received the diagnosis of monkeypox in Brazil is reported here, whose clinical manifestations can easily lead to misdiagnosis of sexually transmitted infections. A 41 years old male presented to an emergency room with a vesicular rash with eight days of evolution. He had traveled to Portugal and Spain and reported non-penetrative sexual involvement with three different male individuals. On the third day of symptoms, he sought medical care and received empirical treatment directed to sexually transmitted infections. As the symptoms did not improve, he sought medical attention at an infectious disease referral center presenting, on admission, an ulcerated penile lesion with central necrotic crusts, a disseminated pleomorphic skin rash and an oropharyngeal ulcer. The monkeypox diagnosis was suspected due to the characteristics of the lesions and the history of intimate contact with casual partners, and it was later confirmed by sequencing the almost complete monkeypox genome. The patient was hospitalized for pain control, which required opiate administration. He developed a secondary bacterial infection on the penile lesions, which were treated with oral antibiotics. He was discharged after 14 days, with lesions in process of re-epithelialization. Given the current outbreak, we must consider the possibility of monkeypox in patients with suggestive lesions, anywhere on the body (including the genitals), added to an epidemiological link or history of intimate contact with strangers or casual partners.

    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.

    Intradermal Delivery of Dendritic Cell-Targeting Chimeric mAbs Genetically Fused to Type 2 Dengue Virus Nonstructural Protein 1
    (2020) PEREIRA, Lennon Ramos; VICENTIN, Elaine Cristina Matos; PEREIRA, Sara Araujo; MAEDA, Denicar Lina Nascimento Fabris; ALVES, Rubens Prince dos Santos; ANDREATA-SANTOS, Robert; SOUSA, Francielle Tramontini Gomes de; YAMAMOTO, Marcio Massao; CASTRO-AMARANTE, Maria Fernanda; FAVARO, Marianna Teixeira de Pinho; ROMANO, Camila Malta; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; BOSCARDIN, Silvia Beatriz; FERREIRA, Luis Carlos de Souza
    Targeting dendritic cells (DCs) by means of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) capable of binding their surface receptors (DEC205 and DCIR2) has previously been shown to enhance the immunogenicity of genetically fused antigens. This approach has been repeatedly demonstrated to enhance the induced immune responses to passenger antigens and thus represents a promising therapeutic and/or prophylactic strategy against different infectious diseases. Additionally, under experimental conditions, chimeric alpha DEC205 or alpha DCIR2 mAbs are usually administered via an intraperitoneal (i.p.) route, which is not reproducible in clinical settings. In this study, we characterized the delivery of chimeric alpha DEC205 or alpha DCIR2 mAbs via an intradermal (i.d.) route, compared the elicited humoral immune responses, and evaluated the safety of this potential immunization strategy under preclinical conditions. As a model antigen, we used type 2 dengue virus (DENV2) nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). The results show that the administration of chimeric DC-targeting mAbs via the i.d. route induced humoral immune responses to the passenger antigen equivalent or superior to those elicited by i.p. immunization with no toxic effects to the animals. Collectively, these results clearly indicate that i.d. administration of DC-targeting chimeric mAbs presents promising approaches for the development of subunit vaccines, particularly against DENV and other flaviviruses.

    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 Natal
    Background: 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.

    First case of SARS-COV-2 sequencing in cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with suspected demyelinating disease
    (2020) DOMINGUES, Renan Barros; MENDES-CORREA, Maria Cassia; LEITE, Fernando Brunale Vilela de Moura; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; SALARINI, Diego Zanotti; CLARO, Ingra; SANTOS, Daniel Wagner; JESUS, Jaqueline Goes de; FERREIRA, Noely Evangelista; ROMANO, Camila Malta; SOARES, Carlos Augusto Senne
    The association between coronaviruses and central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating lesions has been previously shown. However, no case has been described of an association between the novel coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) and CNS demyelinating disease so far. SARS-COV-2 was previously detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample of a patient with encephalitis. However, the virus identity was not confirmed by deep sequencing of SARS-COV-2 detected in the CSF. Here, we report a case of a patient with mild respiratory symptoms and neurological manifestations compatible with clinically isolated syndrome. The viral genome of SARS-COV-2 was detected and sequenced in CSF with 99.74-100% similarity between the patient virus and worldwide sequences. This report suggests a possible association of SARS-COV-2 infection with neurological symptoms of demyelinating disease, even in the absence of relevant upper respiratory tract infection signs.

    Low frequency of SARS-CoV2 infection in daycare centers during the reopening of school activities in the Southeast's poor area of Brazil
    (2022) SOARES, Graciela dos Santos; MORAIS, Lucas Vinicius; SILVA, Kevin Cezar Nascimento; FERREIRA, Elaine Moura; SHIO, Marina Tiemi; ROMANO, Camila Malta; CONDE, Carla Regiani; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; FRANCA, Carolina Nunes; NALI, Luiz Henrique
    SARS-Cov2 has already infected over 482 million people and caused more than 6.1 million deaths. The beginning of the pandemic has led the health authorities of several countries to adopt non-pharmacological preventive measures such as daycare closures. The reopening took place when the country had the highest rates of infection and mortality (mainly due to the gamma variant (P.1) outbreak) and the beginning of the vaccination program. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of SARS-CoV2 in daycare after educational activities resumed. The study was conducted in seven childcare facilities. Swab samples from the nasopharynx were collected from children and staff members. The viral RNA was obtained through PureLink RNA extraction kit purification and SARS-CoV2 presence was detected using the All plex SARS-CoV2 kit. The study population included 201 participants, including daycare workers and children. The average age of the workers and children is 40 and 3 years old, respectively. Among the children, 47.5% are female and among the workers, 91.4%. One (0.5%) test came out positive for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, which was from a sample of an asymptomatic childcare worker, and no secondary infections were detected. Considering that the return to daycare activities occurred during a period with a high number of deaths and a lack of vaccines throughout the country, the small number of cases indicates the effectiveness of the several preventive measures used by daycare centers in preventing SARS-CoV2 transmission.

    Introduction-The dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 shedding and replication in humans remain incompletely understood. Methods-We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 shedding from multiple sites in individuals with an acute COVID-19 infection by weekly sampling for five weeks in 98 immunocompetent and 25 immunosuppressed individuals. Samples and culture supernatants were tested via RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 to determine viral clearance rates and in vitro replication. Results-A total of 2447 clinical specimens were evaluated, including 557 nasopharyngeal swabs, 527 saliva samples, 464 urine specimens, 437 anal swabs and 462 blood samples. The SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences at each site were classified as belonging to the B.1.128 (ancestral strain) or Gamma lineage. SARS-CoV-2 detection was highest in nasopharyngeal swabs regardless of the virus strain involved or the immune status of infected individuals. The duration of viral shedding varied between clinical specimens and individual patients. Prolonged shedding of potentially infectious virus varied from 10 days up to 191 days, and primarily occurred in immunosuppressed individuals. Virus was isolated in culture from 18 nasal swab or saliva samples collected 10 or more days after onset of disease. Conclusions-Our findings indicate that persistent SARS-CoV-2 shedding may occur in both competent or immunosuppressed individuals, at multiple clinical sites and in a minority of subjects is capable of in vitro replication.

    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.

    Reinfection 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.
