Arthropod-borne viruses occur in tropical areas, posing a problem for human health.Mayaro(MAYV)and Western Equine Encephalitis(WEEV)are Alphaviruses belonging to Togaviridae family.MAYV is transmitted by Haemagogus janthinomys and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, is endemic in the Amazon region,reported during human outbreaks in surrounding States.The primary vector for WEEV are Culex spp., wild birds are reservoirs and, the agent and serology in horses have been described in the Amazon region and Pantanal, respectively. We collected 604 serum samples from patients with acute febrile illness suspected of harboring dengue infection between Jan- July/2012.Samples were submitted to RNA extraction(QIAmp viral RNA kit),RT- PCR(Alphavirus,433bp)followed by semi-N-RT-PCR(MAYV 270bp;AURAV 98bp;EEEV 124bp;WEEV 208bp;VEEV 400bp).Amplicons were submitted to sequencing.We found 20/604 (3,3%) positive for MAYV in Cuiab,Vrzea Grande,Nossa Sra Livramento,Sorriso, Santa Carmem;2 co-infected with DENV-1,17 with DENV-4.Additionally,1/604(0,16%)sample was a co-infection of WEEV/DENV-4 in Cuiab;sequencing is underway.Mayaro causes a mild febrile illness clinically mistaken with dengue fever,with a short viremic period.WEEV cause symptoms ranging from mild acute febrile illness to severe encephalitis.Both infections can be clinically mistaken with Dengue Fever.These findings suggest MAYV is circulating in urban areas of MT, probably transmitted by Aedes aegypti. WEEV occurrence in MT has been already demonstrated in Barra do Garas,2011(MT-Lab)and in equines from Pantanal.WEEV occurrence in MT is currently poorly understood.These aspects, combined with absence of routine laboratorial diagnose in MT to other arboviruses besides Dengue serotypes,may contribute to the lack of comprehension about MAYV and WEEV infection dynamics,emphasizing the necessity of surveillance improvement and the establishment of fast and specific diagnostic tools in the State.*Financial support:CNPq/CAPES/FAPEMAT/UFMT.
