Genomic Epidemiology Reconstructs the Introduction and Spread of Zika Virus in Central America and Mexico
24 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
The Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in the Americas established ZIKV as a major public health threat and uncovered its association with severe diseases, including microcephaly. However, genetic epidemiology in some at-risk regions, particularly Central America and Mexico, remains limited. We report 61 ZIKV genomes from this region, generated using metagenomic sequencing with ZIKV-specific enrichment, and combine...
