Jorge Luis Muñoz-Jordán is an esteemed researcher affiliated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Centers for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of Vector Borne Diseases, Dengue Branch, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, particularly on vector-borne illnesses such as dengue and Zika viruses. His research has been critical in understanding the epidemiology, seroprevalence, and molecular evolution of these viruses, contributing significantly to public health surveillance and response strategies.Research Contributions
Dr. Muñoz-Jordán has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases through his research on dengue, Zika, and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. His studies have explored various facets of these diseases, including genomic surveillance, serologic cross-reactivity, and the evaluation of diagnostic tests. Notably, his work in Puerto Rico has revealed the emergence of an autochthonous lineage of SARS-CoV-2 and provided insights into the seroprevalence and molecular evolution of the Zika virus. Additionally, his research on dengue virus infections among Peace Corps volunteers in Timor-Leste and the evaluation of multiplex IgM antibody capture ELISA for differentiating Zika and dengue infections in endemic areas have been pivotal.Aliases
