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."

If you have need a best suitable service your Family Law experience, Managing a Family Law Case in Texas, Part Two the great process!
WHO CAN ATTEND YOUR COURT APPEARANCE WITH YOU?
Family Law Attorney Houston: Your hearing is not a closed process where only the parties, their attorneys, and the judge can attend. Any other party with a hearing scheduled on your date will be in the courtroom at the beginning of the day and can be in the courtroom while your hearing is going on. This means that you can bring any adult that you would like to attend the hearing with you and to at least sit in the gallery of people.
A distinction to make is that people that will act as witnesses in your case will typically not be allowed to remain in the courtroom during your hearing and will be asked to sit outside.
This is due to a belief that their testimony could be affected by the testimony of others. On the other hand, if the adult joining you in the hearing is not a witness he or she will be allowed to remain in court throughout the day. Before bringing a person to court make sure that you discuss it first with your attorney.
Children cannot be in the courtroom at any time. The exception to this is if the judge has ordered your child to be present for some purpose- possibly an evaluation of him or her. I have had clients who have not been able to arrange child care for the morning of their hearing. Those folks will bring along a family member to watch the kids outside of court while the proceedings continue on.
A WORD (OR TWO) ON MEDIATION
Houston Divorce Attorney: Let’s take a break from discussing in-court matters and introduce the subject of mediation. You may be under the impression based on our first couple blog posts on this subject that your case will certainly be headed to court to solve any problems that you are presenting to our justice system. That impression would be incorrect and we discuss the circumstances as to why.
Yes, your case can be ultimately determined by a judge in a courtroom. The alternative method of resolving disputes is through a process known as Mediation. Mediation is a method to avoid the costs, time commitment and uncertainties surrounding a visit to court in order to resolve and settle your family law case.
Mediation is a common method to formally settle your case for either temporary orders or final orders. A mediator is a neutral, independent third party (typically a practicing family lawattorney) who is selected by your attorney and opposing counsel to help bring about an agreement between you and the opposing party. All parties and their attorneys will meet at the mediator’s office in separate rooms to hold a mediation session that typically lasts 3-4 hours.
The mediator acts like a ping pong ball, bouncing between you and your opposing party to convey settlement offers, discuss issues and to generally play devil’s advocate on any arguments or theories that you and your attorney have.
The benefit of having an experienced family law attorney to mediate your case is that he or she has likely tried cases in front of your judge and can provide you with feedback on any issues that you are interested in presenting in either a hearing or trial. If you learn ahead of time that an argument you want to make will likely not go over well, then you may focus more intently on settling your case rather than proceeding to court.
Mediators do charge for their services, however, the cost is usually under $500 per party. This is opposed to a one day or multi-day trial or hearing that can cost much, much more in attorney’s fees but also emotional and physical stress.
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES CASES
Houston Family Lawyer: Unfortunately, you may be in a situation where Child Protective Services (CPS) has become involved with you and your family. The fear of having your child removed from your home for reasons that are largely beyond your control is enough to keep you awake at night.
The second thought of having to deal with these folks in a legal matter is equally fear inducing. Let’s break down what a CPS case is and what its outcomes could mean for you and your family.
CPS is an organization that is headed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. This is a State Agency whose objective is to protect the children of our State. CPS learns of children possibly being in harm’s way by receiving phone calls where allegations of abuse or neglect are made. CPS will investigate the call and make an inquiry about the allegations made.
Typically a CPS case investigator or caseworker will come to your home to interview you, your spouse and any other person they deem as being relevant. The objective would be to find out as much as he or she can about the call that was made about your child and to determine whether or not the actual facts and circumstances exist to substantiate the call. If CPS conducts an investigation and determines that your child’s safety and well being are at risk the decision can be made to remove your child from your home.
CPS will seek a court order to remove your child and will need to get one prior to doing so. Within two weeks of your child’s removal from your custody, a hearing will have to be held in court in order to allow CPS to continue to have temporary conservatorship rights over your child. At this hearing, you and your spouse will have an opportunity to discuss the case with your judge. Your side of the story will be important for the judge in order to make sure that the view he or she is receiving from CPS is not slanted or incorrect.
This hearing is your only opportunity to discuss the issues of your case with the judge. You are not given an opportunity to have time alone with the judge off the record so the courtroom is where all communication will occur. A judge can order you and your spouse to undergo treatment or counseling and can require you to complete certain steps in order to get conservatorship of your child back.
You receive any paperwork filed by CPS against you. Likely a Petition would have been filed naming you as the Respondent … Continue Reading
