TL;DR: A combination of diagnostic assays, nanopore sequencing, phylogenetic inference, and epidemiological modeling are used to provide a holistic overview of what is known about WNV in Brazil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of portable whole-genome sequencing, molecular clock, and epidemiological analyses that revealed the reintroduction of the CHIKV East-Central-South-African (ECSA) lineage into Rio Grande do Norte.

TL;DR: A horse with neurological disorder was diagnosed with West Nile virus (WNV) in Boa Viagem, a municipality in the state of Ceara, northeast Brazil as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a combination of portable whole genome sequencing, molecular clock, and epidemiological analyses that revealed the re-introduction of the CHIKV East-Central-South-African (ECSA) lineage into Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report genetic evidence of WNV circulation from southern and northeastern Brazilian states isolated from equine red blood cells, and advocate for a shift to active surveillance, to ensure adequate control for future epidemics with spill-over potential to humans.
