Show abstract

In 2023, a new yellow fever virus (YFV) lineage was introduced in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. From July 2024 to June 2025, nine Callithrix penicillata tested positive, showing low YFV viral load but characteristic organ lesions, suggesting this genus may replace Alouatta sp. as sentinel to detect YFV circulation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
