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 describes a rapid surveillance response and genome sequencing of a new Yellow Fever Virus sublineage in Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2021, revealing its relation to a 2017 Amazon lineage.

The paper generates near-complete genomes of the yellow fever virus during an outbreak in Brazil to study its phylogenetic relationships and spatio-temporal spread.

The paper sequences the genome of Plasmodium simium to study its evolutionary history and identify genetic adaptations enabling host-switching to humans.

The paper introduces a high-throughput tool to detect arboviruses in mosquitoes from Zika-endemic regions, showing its effectiveness in identifying circulating viruses.

The paper identifies Plasmodium simium as the cause of malaria outbreaks in Rio de Janeiro, demonstrating zoonotic transmission from monkeys to humans.
