How Honduras managed to carry out genomic sequencing for the first time
June 2023
When microbiologist Soany Ávilez was selected to implement the genomic sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Honduras, she was amazed. In the wake of the pandemic, Soany had started working at the National Virology Laboratory in 2020 performing PCR tests. At that time, genomic sequencing to detect circulating variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 was carried out outside the country. But a project to provide Honduras with the capabilities to do it in situ and obtain faster results was being developed with technical support from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and financial support from the United States Government.
Although she lacked knowledge on the subject, Soany remembers that she longed for the opportunity to work in sequencing. "When they chose us (her and her partner Karla Romero) to implement sequencing in the country and move the area forward, I couldn't believe it," she says.
Genomic surveillance allows us to know the evolution of viruses and other pathogens as they change over time. Knowing those changes or mutations that can modify its transmissibility and severity, allows us to guide public health measures. During the pandemic, it was a key strategy to monitor the behavior of SARS-CoV-2 and a technique that is being integrated into the surveillance of other pathogens.
Karla Romero, the other microbiologist in charge of genomic surveillance, acknowledges that the implementation of sequencing in Honduras has been "a great challenge" that required a lot of "sacrifice and commitment" both inside and outside the laboratory.
The sequencing area had to be created from scratch. In 2022, the authorities selected and conditioned a space within the National Virology Laboratory. With the support of PAHO, a sequencer, supplies, reagents, and furniture were purchased, and Soany and Karla were trained in bioinformatics and genomic sequencing at the Gorgas Memorial Institute in Panama.
“All with the aim of strengthening the capacities for genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens in Honduras,” says Gabriela Rodriguez Segura, coordinator of the PAHO Project for the Consolidation of Genomic Sequencing Capacities in Honduras. Before these capacities were created at the local level, samples to determine the variants circulating in the country were sent to the laboratories of the Regional Network for Genomic Surveillance of COVID-19 (COVIGEN) created by PAHO to support countries without capacity to carry out sequencing in its territory.
In March 2023, the effort paid off and excitement took over the National Virology Laboratory when, after several attempts, the first sequencing of SARS-COV-2 in the country was successfully carried out. “We couldn't believe it,” says Soany. "We feel very happy because it was a great challenge and the result made us feel fulfilled."
On March 21, 2023, the results were obtained and it was the first time that the XBB sublineage of the omicron variant was detected in the country and by Honduran health professionals. For Karla, the key was “not to give up in the face of the biggest challenge”.
"It is a milestone for the country that genomic sequencing is being carried out," says Dr. Mitzi Castro, head of the National Health Surveillance Laboratory of Honduras. “It is a historic moment because we are starting from here to carry out future genomic surveillance of other pathogens of sanitary interest to the country,” she adds.
According to Dr. Castro, the country now has state-of-the-art technology. "The laboratory is at the forefront, and that is a success and a source of pride, for which we thank all those who have contributed their bit so that Honduras is not left behind."

Managed to find some time to go and take photos in the city today. It was raining, but I wanted some dark and moody shots so I was quite satisfied with the weather.
I also found the time to write a new post on my blog about an ever-ongoing photographic argument (I'm not going to reveal it here, go to my blog and read the article)
Managed to delete this while posting some new images, so I've put it back.
Few more from Weston Turville Reservoir
Managed to get a pre-release Soundwave Deluxe Figure from ROTF Transformers Movie 2009.
Sadly there is a defect on the left thigh of this figure which is placed wrongly. However, I went on to repaint this figure, can't bother much about it. Can't wait to try painting this figure.

Pictures taken with a Sony A58 camera with various lenses.
Managed a few shots at the Lockkeeper Keynsham when kids and the wife were all busy at school!
I have seen this shot from Lee/Ratters before and wanted to give it a go.
I had just been swimming (not here!) and the towel was in the car so thought why not
Constructive critique very welcome, I am keen to learn how to improve
Managed to get hold of a nikon d600, tested it in Brimpton Church, Berkshire, England the day was very over cast and the church extremely dark so I was not expecting much from this camera! All the carved heads are shot at 2.8/6400 iso and all the long shots 4/6400iso all hand held, only edit is a crop and some sharpening i was blown away by its picture quality at such high iso.
The moment I picked this camera up it felt right and after using it I think its great bit of kit, and will defo be my carry everywhere camera.

Somehow I have managed to miss my Sunday afternoon nap.
I'm not sure how it happened, usually the order of the day is get up at around seven fifteen leave for Church at eight-twenty to drop Lanie ready for Choir, while we socialize (which for me involves eating doughnuts and drinking coffee) until the 9am service starts. Generally we leave the teenagers to do what they do best; sleep-in.
Today Alek came along as both he and Lanie had been requisitioned to be 'Kings'. There was no adult Sunday school after the service, so more socializing (and doughnuts) was called for while I waited for Ginger, Alek and Lanie to finish their various activities.
Normally once we get home, we collapse on the bed and declare nap time. Not today. Today Ginger went out frock shopping with the girls while I sent some emails and tinkered with our blog. On their return a grocery shopping expedition was declared. Ah-ha! Thinks I, it's about time we did another 'Nauseating in Wal-Mart' picture. But it wasn't to be. The place was absolutely throbbing and If I'd slowed up the aisle traffic by stopping to take a SP there might well have been a riot. On to 'Food 4 Less' for more groceries, and I was feeling less than inspired to go with a 'Nauseating in Food 4 Less' picture.
Choral Evensong was being held at Church this evening featuring a couple of new pieces by Carlyle Sharpe that we wanted to attend. By the time we'd finished getting the groceries we had just enough time to go home, dump them on the kitchen floor for the kids to put away and head back down town for our second dose of Church for the day.
We arrived in plenty of time, and while we were waiting for things to start I took today's picture. The music and service were very good, and we enjoyed the small cheese and wine reception afterwards too.
By the way. Friday night we watched 'The Changeling' good movie. Last night we watched 'Memphis Belle', not Ginger's kind of movie, and certainly showing its age a bit. It's a long time since I last saw it but I still enjoyed the film. I don't think Ginger appreciated my pointing out that Alek will all to soon be of a similar age to some of the aircrew.

Managed to destroy 3 paintings today I've been working on for over a month when I dropped a plastic bottle of gesso on the driveway & watched it explode all over my car & the 3 canvases.
Some days I feel like I'm just meant to destroy myself. It's historic; no matter my course, I'll come back to this place over & over again.

I managed to get all my many chores done today - get photocopies, buy maple syrup (for gifts), go to the naturopath, and get a haircut. I even took an unplanned detour in the middle there to buy a cheap pair of shoes at Payless, because my feet were clearly not ready to be in my usual shoes quite yet. I think they'll be useful for the plane, anyway.
It's not exactly a *new* cut, just pretty much the same one shorter (and more angled towards the front). I think this is the shortest it's been, say, ever? I went to a new place and they did a good job, I think. All my front shots were quite blurry, so I'll try to get one in the morning.
Here's hoping for okay bedhead tomorrow!
This monkey managed to hoard the two pieces of papaya and carried it to a safe location to enjoy it all by himself. She told me about his son who is working in the city. And also about the nature of the monkeys stroking some of them. She called them "gentle creatures and loving."
Managed to get in my hide for a short while to continue with perfecting greenfinch behaviour before the light went, still not perfect, but getting there and learning all the time

Managed to catch this today during a brief interlude of sunshine.....very shortly after I took this it got very dull and hailed on us.
managed to do a quick sketch on my way home today. Heavy police presence, lots and lots of shops with windows smashed in, and most businesses not open today. People seem quite visibly angry and upset about what's happened, and rightly so. It might not be a well off area but by and large its safe, with a strong community spirit.
During the record breaking snowstorm, some people went out to build snowmen, others took walks around the Mall, and a few may have braved the elements in order to show off their best gear at an ugly sweater party. Robert sat inside hacking on Managing News, and then built this dashboard feature to help stay on top of it all.
