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."

The day I visited Portland Bill was on the 15th October 2017. Sadly it was not a very clear day and fairly dull. Hence I did not manage to get the sunny, spectacular views you can normally get from the very top of this Bill. I did, however, return on the 1st May and on the 24th May 2018. Portland is thought of as an island although this isn’t wholly correct in the true sense of the word as it’s reached over a causeway along, what is known as Chesil Beach. Just 4 miles long by a mile and a half wide at its broadest point, this plate of Jurassic limestone is tilted from north to south. This means that if you are on the elevated northern side of the island you are rewarded with stunning views across the Chesil, Portland Harbour & Weymouth.
Portland Bill is a narrow piece of land ( or bill ) at the southern end of the Isle of Portland, and the southernmost point of Dorset. One of Portland's most popular destinations, the popular attraction Portland Bill Lighthouse is found here. The surrounding coast of Portland, namely Portland Bill and Chesil Beach, have been notorious for the many vessels that became shipwrecked in the area over the centuries. The dangerous coastline, which features shallow reefs and the Shambles sandbank, was proven more hazardous due to the strong tidal race is known as the Portland Race. The Bill is still an important way point for coastal traffic, and three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, in particular from its strong tidal race and shallow reef. The original two lighthouses guided vessels around the coast from 1716, until they were replaced in 1906 by the current lighthouse.
Overlooking Portland Harbour in Dorset stands one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal forts, built in the early 1540’s to protect against the French and Spanish invasion. Portland Castle was built as a consequence of international tensions between England, France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely. Today it provides a great day out for visitors and its audio tour, included in the admission price, tells of the castle’s 450-year history and the part it played in the First and Second World Wars. Portland Castle offers lots to do for families and couples alike, and only four miles from Weymouth, this historic adventure can easily be combined with some more contemporary seaside fun.
Church Ope Cove is located on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. The beach consists of soft limestone pebbles ( although they do feel pretty hard to walk on ) and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides which provide shelter from the often strong breeze in the area. As the beach faces south, it is also something of a sun trap throughout the day. Here, it is first recorded in 789 AD the first Viking raid on the British Isles happened. This cove was believed to be the place they landed. The exposed location was later defended by a Norman 12th Century Rufus Castle, built on the cliff-top overlooking the beach. This remaining castle which can be seen today dates from the late 15th-century.
The cove's area was also used for the building of Portland's first parish church, St Andrews Church, which was probably first established above the cove by the Saxons. St Andrews churchyard, where the ruins stand right on the edge of the east cliffs, has long been the infamous Pirates Graveyard. Built in 1475 on the site of an earlier building, St Andrews was destroyed by fire during a raid. Its rather dubious reputation as a pirates graveyard is based entirely on the fact that some of the headstones and table tombs, both inside and outside the church, have skulls and crossbones carved on them.
Finally managed to get photos of this one as well! Prototype Enviro 200 S12 (S12 ETC) departs from Guildford Bus Station with a 24 to Cranleigh on 20/03/2013
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 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.
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
Managing to do as little as possible in this current heat, I have spent the last three afternoons attempting to get a shot of the hummingbirds visiting the Bee Balm in the backyard. Well... out of the 100 or so frames shot so far, this is the only one close to being sharp. Anyhow, it has me more determined now to keep trying.

Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 1,600-acre nature preserve is located in Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland. From the Nature Conservancy site - "A window into ice ages past, Cranesville Swamp is located in a "frost pocket," an area where the surrounding hills capture moisture and cold air that conspire to create a landscape more reminiscent of habitat found much further north in Canada. Given Cranesville Swamp’s lush forest and wetland, it’s not surprising that it is home to an exceptional variety of animals. In total, more than 50 rare plants and animals live at Cranesville." Did not see a ton of birds, mostly they were high up in the trees - along with the squirrels. But I did see a hairy woodpecker and a few butterflies. Still, it was a nice day to be in the preserve on my visit, Thursday August 10th, 2017.

After an exhausting morning seeing both Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City we visited a nearby restaurant for a much needed lunch. With the help of our guide we managed to find some delicious vegetarian dishes and enjoyed the great translations on the menu.
We wondered if "Burns the suburb vegetable heart in vain" applied to us....
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 finally managed to get a day off work today, and took the train to Exeter to meet a friend for lunch...
As I reached the foot of the station stairs, I turned to look back up the way I'd just come, and saw these glossy yellow handrails stretching up towards the light. Humdrum to some, but I liked it - then again, it doesn't take much to amuse me...

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.

Great people call those who managed to change the time for the better, able to teach mankind something or did something remarkable. And live at the same time with such people - that's fine. Alas, I personally realized this truth rather late. This fotoset I dedicate to whose power of talent, I realized only after his departure ... R.I.P.
Великими людьми называют тех, кто сумел изменить свое время в лучшую сторону, сумел научить человечество чему-то или сделал что-то выдающееся. И жить в одно время с такими людьми - это прекрасно. Увы, лично я осознал эту истину довольно поздно. Этот фотосет я посвящаю тому, чью силу таланта я осознал только после его ухода... Светлая память...
Managed to quickly grab my camera and fire off a few frames. It was a long way away hence the grainy enlargement.
