SHORT COMMUNICATION ABSTRACT HIV and tuberculosis (TB) are among the global deadliest diseases. Migrant populations are particularly vulnerable to these infections. Yet, literature is still scarce on the epidemiology of HIV–TB co-infection among migrants. In this study, we characterized native and migrant HIV patients followed in Portuguese hospitals, who were diagnosed with TB, regarding their […]

Genetic lineage characterization and spatiotemporal dynamics of classical insect-specific flaviviruses: outcomes and limitations

  • Autores: Paulo Morais, Nídia S Trovão, Ana Abecasis, Ricardo Parreira
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Virus Research, 303, art 198507
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virusres.2021.198507

HIGHLIGHTS • Complete and partial cISF sequences were characterized using multiple analyses. • cISF sequences show low diversity and entropy, and evolve under purifying selection. • Recombination does not seem to impact the evolution of cISF extensively. • Different datasets displayed high phylogenetic, but mostly low temporal signals. • Spatiotemporal dispersal analyses suggested cISF distribution […]

ABSTRACT ‘Background:’ INSTIs have become a pillar of first-line ART. Real-world data are needed to assess their effectiveness in routine care. ‘Objectives:’ We analysed ART-naive patients who started INSTI-based regimens in 2012–19 whose data were collected by INTEGRATE, a European collaborative study including seven national cohorts. ‘Methods:’ Kaplan–Meier analyses assessed time to virological failure (VF), […]
