Abstract Heartland virus (HRTV) is an emerging tick-bone virus associated with severe illness in the U.S. There are large gaps in knowledge of HRTV diversity, evolution, and transmission due to a paucity of HRTV-positive samples and genome sequences. We identified a focal site of HRTV-positive Amblyomma americanum ticks in central Georgia and developed a novel multiplex-amplicon sequencing assay to generate full HRTV genome sequences.
Abstract Dengue virus (DENV) is a significant public health concern in Colombia, with increased transmission of DENV type 1 (DENV-1) in the departments of Risaralda and Valle del Cauca in the Central-West region of the country following a large outbreak in 2019. However, little is known about the source, genetic diversity, and evolution of circulating viruses.
