Clinical and laboratory diagnosis of Mayaro virus (MAYV) : Current status and opportunities for further development

© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

The recent outbreaks related to Mayaro virus (MAYV) infection in the Americas have brought this neglected virus as a potential threat to global public health. Given the range of symptoms that can be associated with MAYV infection, it can be challenging to diagnose individuals based on clinical signs, especially in countries with simultaneous circulation of other mosquito-borne viruses, such as dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). With this challenge in mind, laboratory-based diagnosis assumes a critical role in the introduction of measures to help prevent virus dissemination and to adequately treat patients. In this review, we provide an overview of the clinical features reported in infected patients and currently available laboratory tools that are used for MAYV diagnosis, discussing their advances, advantages, and limitations to apply in the field. Moreover, we explore novel point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic platforms that can provide de-centralised diagnostics for use in areas with limited laboratory infrastructure.
