Genomic and epidemiological monitoring of yellow fever virus transmission potential

Nuno R. Faria, +87 more
- 31 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the age and sex distribution of human cases is characteristic of sylvatic transmission, which establishes a framework for monitoring YFV transmission in real time that will contribute to a global strategy to eliminate future YFFV epidemics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Passatempo virus, a vaccinia virus strain, Brazil.

TL;DR: Biologic features and molecular characterization of hemagglutinin, thymidine kinase, and vaccinia growth factor genes suggested avaccinia virus infection, which strengthens the idea of the reemergence and circulation of vaccinia virus in Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Here, There, and Everywhere: The Wide Host Range and Geographic Distribution of Zoonotic Orthopoxviruses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the global host ranges and current epidemiological understanding of zoonotic orthopoxviruses with epidemic potential, including monkeypox, cowpox, and vaccinia viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poxvirus Host Range Genes and Virus-Host Spectrum: A Critical Review.

TL;DR: The term host range genes might not be the most appropriate for these genes, since no correlation between them and the viruses’ host spectrum was observed, and a change in nomenclature should be considered.
