The World Health Organization has declared Zika virus an international public health emergency. Knowledge of Zika virus genomic epidemiology is currently limited due to challenges in obtaining and processing samples for sequencing. The ZiBRA project is a United Kingdom-Brazil collaboration that aims to improve this situation using new sequencing technologies.
世界卫生组织已宣布寨卡病毒构成国际公共卫生紧急事件。由于获取和处理用于测序的样本存在困难,目前对寨卡病毒基因组流行病学的了解有限。“寨卡病毒基因组资源联盟(ZiBRA)”项目是英国和巴西的合作项目,旨在利用新的测序技术改善这种状况。
