Epidemiological study finds Mayaro virus genotype D in 3.4% of febrile patients in Brazil, indicating the need for improved regional surveillance.
We detected Mayaro virus (MAYV) in 3.4% (28/822) of febrile patients tested during 2018-2021 from Roraima State, Brazil. We also isolated MAYV strains and confirmed that these cases were caused by genotype D. Improved surveillance is needed to better determine the burden of MAYV in the Amazon Region.
