We investigated an outbreak of exanthematous illness in Maceió by using molecular surveillance; 76% of samples tested positive for chikungunya virus. Genetic analysis of 23 newly generated genomes identified the East/Central/South African genotype, suggesting that this lineage has persisted since mid-2014 in Brazil and may spread in the Americas and beyond.
我们通过分子监测调查了马塞约的皮疹病爆发;76%的样本检测出基孔肯雅病毒呈阳性。对 23 个新生成的基因组进行的遗传分析确定了东/中非/南非基因型,表明该谱系自 2014 年年中以来一直在巴西持续存在,并且可能在美洲及其他地区传播。
