When conducting the analysis of the overall behaviour of the viruses in the period covered by the study, we observed that the months with high and low positivity differed significantly Table 4 . Viruses participation in co-infections. (p<0.05). Fig 4B-4E shows the monthly behaviour of each virus. The month of November presented the highest percentage of cases during the year ( Fig 4A) . When the analysis was performed by season, we observed differences between the four seasons of the year (p<0.05). Generally, summer had a significantly lower proportion of positive samples (24.5%; p<0.05), whereas fall had the highest proportion (44.9%; p<0.05).
