BACKGROUND

The Mayaro virus capsid is composed of 240 capsid protein copies within a lipid membrane, through which 80 capsid spike proteins penetrate. The spike proteins are composed of E2 and E1 glycoproteins, which form heterodimers shortly after translation and associate into trimers when virions assemble. The E2 glycoprotein is primarily involved in attachment to host cells while the E1 protein mediates the fusion of the virus and host cell (Choi et al., 2019). Both E1 and E2 on the surface of virions are targets of anti-MAYV antibody responses.

Since MAYV’s characterisation in 1954 on the island of Trinidad, it has caused major outbreaks in South American countries, and reports have suggested that cases of MAYV infection may be higher than previously documented owing to similarities between symptoms of the co-circulating Mayaro, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses (CDC).

The Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus, of the Alphavirus genus of the Togaviridae virus family. MAYV is closely related to other the Alphaviruses such as Chikungunya, Semliki Forest and Ross River, that also produce a dengue fever-like illness, accompanied by long-lasting arthritis.
