Article Synopsis
- Salvador was significantly impacted during the 2015 Zika virus outbreak, prompting a study involving parturients (pregnant women) and their newborns.
- The study found that 6.9% of parturients tested positive for Zika virus (ZIKV), with higher rates of exposure to dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) reflected in antibody tests.
- The results emphasized the importance of prenatal and neonatal screening for ZIKV and CHIKV due to the occurrence of congenital infections observed in 16.5% of newborns for ZIKV and 13% for CHIKV.

The chikungunya East/Central/South/Africa virus lineage (CHIKV-ECSA) was first detected in Brazil in the municipality of Feira de Santana (FS) by mid 2014. Following that, a large number of CHIKV cases have been notified in FS, which is the second-most populous city in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, and plays an important role on the spread to other Brazilian states due to climate conditions and the abundance of competent vectors. To better understand CHIKV dynamics in Bahia state, we generated 5 complete genome sequences from a local outbreak raised in Serraria Brasil, a neighbourhood in FS, by next-generation sequencing using Illumina approach.
