The Olympic Games and the production of the public realm. México City 1968 and Rio de Janeiro 2016

Para Brasil, actualmente una de las 10 economías más grandes del mundo, los Juegos Olímpicos y Paralímpicos de 2016 representan una oportunidad única. El artículo contrasta Río de Janeiro 2016 con México 1968, los primeros juegos en América Latina, y provee una mirada de cómo los juegos deberían proveer regeneración urbana así como un mejoramiento de la imagen de la ciudad, una imagen constantemente dañada, para una audiencia internacional.

Phylogenetic analyses of chikungunya virus among travelers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2014-2015

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that emerged in Brazil by late 2014. In the country, two CHIKV foci characterized by the East/Central/South Africa and Asian genotypes, were established in North and Northeast regions. We characterized, by phylogenetic analyses of full and partial genomes, CHIKV from Rio de Janeiro state (2014-2015). These CHIKV strains belong to the Asian genotype, which is the determinant of the current Northern Brazilian focus, even though the genome sequence presents particular single nucleotide variations. This study provides the first genetic characterisation of CHIKV in Rio de Janeiro and highlights the potential impact of human mobility in the spread of an arthropod-borne virus.
