3 days ago · We discuss the complex eco-social factors involved in the puzzle of the unexpected rapid viral spread in the ongoing Brazilian yellow fever (YF) outbreak, which has increased the reurbanisation risk of a disease without urban cases in Brazil since 1942. Indeed, this rapid spatial viral dissemination to the Southeast and South regions, now ...
3 days ago · Yellow Fever virus - The YFV sample used was the 74018 isolate belonging to South American genotype I, isolated from Brazil, corresponding to the distinct lineage 1D 74018/FIOCRUZ/MG/01 (YFV-74018-1D) from a human fatal case in 2001. The isolate was passaged four times in C6/36 cell culture and grown in T25 flasks in Leibovitz medium (L-15 ...
