El reordenamiento genético es la combinación de segmentos de genes que se produce por la confluencia de algunos virus de la misma especie o afines, lo cual altera la infecciosidad y el grado de patogenicidad del virus. Se produce en virus con genomas segmentados, como los del género Orthobunyavirus (familia Bunyaviridae), que incluye tres segmentos de cadena simple de ARN: el S (small), el M (médium) y el L (large), y son responsables frecuentemente de enfermedad febril aguda indiferenciada (SFAI). Este es el caso de la fiebre producida por el virus Oropuche (OROV), que ha cobrado protagonismo por recientes brotes e incremento de casos en el Perú.

Objective. To estimate the mortality attributable to diabetes mellitus (DM) as recorded by Peru’s Ministry of Health and its association with the human development index (HDI). Methods. This was an ecological study based on a secondary analysis of death records belonging to the Ministry of Health for the period from 2005 to 2014. A death was considered attributable to DM if the underlying cause of death given in the death record was DM. Mortality attributable to DM has been presented descriptively and in terms of geospatial analyses, and Spearman’s rho was used to test for an association between the difference in the mortality attributable to DM (between 2005-2006 and 2013-2014) and the HDI in Peru’s various departments.
