TL;DR: This paper presents sequence data and analysis of 142 EBOV samples collected during the period March to October 2015 and shows that real-time genomic surveillance is possible in resource-limited settings and can be established rapidly to monitor outbreaks.

TL;DR: Outbreaks of chikungunya virus disease are reviewed and a comprehensive analysis and comparison of clinical presentation, virus– vector associations and viral genetics are presented to assess the possibility of further expansion and re-emergence of CHIKV illness.

TL;DR: Deep sequencing of 179 patient samples processed by the European Mobile Laboratory, the first diagnostics unit to be deployed to the epicentre of the outbreak in Guinea, reveals an epidemiological and evolutionary history of the epidemic from March 2014 to January 2015, providing an unprecedented window into the evolution of an ongoing viral haemorrhagic fever outbreak.

TL;DR: This study genetically characterized isolates of CHIKV obtained from Mombasa and Lamu Island, Kenya, during 2004, as well as strains from the 2005 outbreak recorded in Comoros, demonstrating that the virus responsible for the epidemic that spread through the Indian Ocean originated in coastal Kenya during 2004.

TL;DR: EVD patients at the time of admission to the Ebola Treatment Center in Guinea, and longitudinally until discharge or death are evaluated, and an immune signature that is unique in EVD fatalities is identified through the use of multiparametric flow cytometry.
