Zika Virus Disrupts Neural Progenitor Development and Leads to Microcephaly in Mice
(2016-05)The link between Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and microcephaly has raised urgent global alarm. The historical African ZIKV MR766 was recently shown to infect cultured human neural precursor cells (NPCs), but unlike the ... -
Zika virus-associated Guillain-Barre syndrome variant in Haiti
(2016-05)Zika virus is a single-stranded RNA virus (genus Flavivirus) transmitted by the Aedes mosquito and through sexual contact with infected individuals.1,2 Zika virus infection may be asymptomatic or may cause fever, rash, ... -
Pathology of congenital Zika syndrome in Brazil: a case series
(2016-06)Background Zika virus is an arthropod-borne virus that is a member of the family Flaviviridae transmitted mainly by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. Although usually asymptomatic, infection can result in a mild and ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Utilizing Nontraditional Data Sources for Near Real-Time Estimation of Transmission Dynamics During the 2015-2016 Colombian Zika Virus Disease Outbreak
(2016-06)Approximately 40 countries in Central and South America have experienced local vector-born transmission of Zika virus, resulting in nearly 300,000 total reported cases of Zika virus disease to date. Of the cases that have ... -
Zika Research Projects List: The crystal structure of Zika virus helicase: basis for antiviral drug design
(2016-06)The genus of Flavivirus contains important human pathogens, including dengue (DENV), yellow fever (YFV), West Nile (WNV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), and tick-borne encephalitis (TBEV) viruses, which cause a number of ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Vertical transmission of Zika virus targeting the radial glial cells affects cortex development of offspring mice
(2016-06)The recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in Latin America coincided with a marked increase in microcephaly in newborns. However, the causal link between maternal ZIKV infection and malformation of the fetal brain has not been ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Wolbachia Blocks Currently Circulating Zika Virus Isolates in Brazilian Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
(2016-06)The recent association of Zika virus with cases of microcephaly has sparked a global health crisis and highlighted the need for mechanisms to combat the Zika vector, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Wolbachia pipientis, a bacterial ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Mucocutaneous Findings and Course in an Adult With Zika Virus Infection
(2016-06)Importance The Zika virus epidemic has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization. We describe the mucocutaneous features and histologic correlation in a patient with ... -
Zika Virus Targets Human STAT2 to Inhibit Type I Interferon Signaling
(2016-06)The ongoing epidemic of Zika virus (ZIKV) illustrates the importance of flaviviruses as emerging human pathogens. All vector-borne flaviviruses studied thus far have to overcome type I interferon (IFN) to replicate and ... -

ZIka virus infection in Asia: Reappraisal on phylogenetic data of Asian lineage
(2016-06)Zika virus is the new focused virus in tropical medicine. The Zika virus infection can result in acute hemorrhagic febrile illness and the infection can also result in birth defect [1], [2]. The disease has been known for ... -
Zika Virus Infection with Prolonged Maternal Viremia and Fetal Brain Abnormalities
(2016-06)The current outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has been associated with an apparent increased risk of congenital microcephaly. We describe a case of a pregnant woman and her fetus infected with ZIKV during the 11th ... -
Clinical Manifestations of Zika Virus Infection, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2015
(2016-07)Zika virus infection, which has been associated with microcephaly and other neurologic disorders, has reached the level of public health emergency of international concern (1). Zika virus (family Flaviviridae, genus ... -
Zika Virus-Related News Coverage and Online Behavior, United States, Guatemala, and Brazil
(2016-07)News coverage of emerging infectious diseases tends to be episodic and ephemeral rather than thematic, comprehensive, and consistent over time, in part because of newsroom constraints (1–3). Public health authority ... -
Single-Reaction Multiplex Reverse Transcription PCR for Detection of Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue Viruses
(2016-07)Clinical manifestations of Zika virus, chikungunya virus, and dengue virus infections can be similar. To improve virus detection, streamline molecular workflow, and decrease test costs, we developed and evaluated a multiplex ... -
