Screening of febrile patients with suspected malaria from the Brazilian Amazon for virus infection

Employing oxford nanopore technologies (ONT) for understanding the ecology and transmission dynamics of flaviviruses in mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from Eastern Colombia

“…The above, with the support of the sequencing capacity that was acquired during the pure contingency of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ( Álvarez-Díaz et al, 2021). The use of these sequencing tools, together with approaches similar to our study, has allowed the identification of epidemiologically essential viruses such as Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in mosquitoes from Xinjiang, China (Hameed et al, 2021), ZIKV in patients from the Brazilian Amazon (M. L. G. de Figueiredo et al, 2022) and in Colombia with the recent identification of Oropuche virus (OROV) associating it to the cause of emerging febrile illness in patients (Ciuoderis et al, 2022).…”
