The paper reports the first whole-genome sequencing of dengue virus from field-caught mosquitoes in southern Brazil, identifying DENV-1 and DENV-2 with evidence of viral adaptation and co-circulation.

The paper uses genomic data to analyze how national and international restrictions affected SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Brazil and Paraguay, showing the spread of variants and the role of importation.

The paper examines the circulation of DENV1 and DENV2 in Brazil using portable sequencing and describes the potential of real-time genomic surveillance for public health.

The paper estimates the re-introduction of the Chikungunya virus ECSA lineage into Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, through interregional importation events.

The paper reports genetic evidence of West Nile virus circulation in horses and a human case in Brazil, highlighting the need for active surveillance.

This paper describes adapting Illumina protocols for rapid and accurate SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing during a hospital outbreak, reducing library prep time and sharing protocols with a genomics surveillance network.

The paper introduces a web-based tool for rapid identification and characterization of novel coronavirus genomes from sequencing data.
