Eco-epidemiology of arbovirus infections among non-human primates in Southeastern Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Orthoflaviviruses and alphaviruses are arboviruses responsible for human diseases in tropical and subtropical countries. We aimed to detect infections with arboviruses and to evaluate the ecological patterns related to these infections among non-human primates (NHPs) in southeastern Brazil. Of the 248 molecularly screened NHPs, 30 were infected with orthoflaviviruses, which highlighted hotspots of arboviruses. We identified genome fragments of orthoflaviviruses Orthoflavivirus denguei 1 (DENV-1), 2 (DENV-2) and 3 (DENV-3), Orthoflavivirus louisense (SLEV), Orthoflavivirus zikaense (ZIKV), and Orthoflavivirus flavi (YFV). No alphaviruses were detected. Amid a human outbreak of YFV, black-tufted marmoset (Callithrix penicillata) was identified as being infected. SLEV and ZIKV were found in s
