This paper presents new data about Rickettsia species detected in ticks collected from wild animals, using 16S rRNA, gltA and ompA. Rickettsia DNA was found in 66 of 101 ticks. Using EZ BioCloud libraries were produced reads that identified Rickettsia aeschlimannii, and Illumina BaseSpace produced reads of Rickettsia rickettsii group, Rickettsia bellii group, and unclassified Rickettsia.

- An epidemiologic study analyzed 4,210 cases of COVID-19 in Panama from March 9 to April 16, 2020, alongside genetic analysis of 313 new virus genomes.
- Despite the implementation of containment measures, the reproduction number (R) decreased but was still insufficient to fully stop the spread of the virus.
- The findings suggest that while measures helped slow the spread, they did not eliminate it entirely in Panama.
