GloPID-R chikungunya, o'nyong-nyong and Mayaro virus Working Group
… Highlights
- •
Information on MAYV circulation in Central and Southern America are fragmentary.
- •
Co-circulating pathogens inducing similar symptoms probably cause underreporting of MAYV infections.
- •
Improvement of serological tools is necessary to have robust seroprevalence data not affected by cross-reactivity.
- •
Surveillance of febrile illnesses and longitudinal studies are required to describe the natural history of the disease.
- •
Molecular epidemiology studies, as well as entomological and environmental surveillance, are needed.
