The paper identifies multiple CDV spillover events into Neotropical primates in Brazil and identifies residue 519 of the hemagglutinin protein as a candidate marker of adaptation to primates.

The paper analyzes DENV-1 genome sequences from Araraquara, Brazil, to reconstruct its evolutionary history and challenge previous assumptions about the emergence of genotype V.

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

This study identifies a new DENV2 lineage replacement in Brazil using portable genomic surveillance, detecting its introduction from the Caribbean in 2014.

This paper describes a method to sequence Zika and other virus genomes directly from clinical samples using multiplex PCR and portable sequencing technologies, achieving complete genomes in 1-2 days.

The paper uses ZIKV genomes to estimate the origin and spread of Zika virus in Brazil and the Americas, providing a timeframe for baseline microcephaly rates.
