Zika Virus Infection Acquired During Brief Travel to Indonesia
(2014)Zika virus infection closely resembles dengue fever. It is possible that many cases are misdiagnosed or missed. We report a case of Zika virus infection in an Australian traveler who returned from Indonesia with fever and ... -
Health evaluation of free-ranging and semi-captive orangutans (pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) in Sabah, Malaysia
(2014)Baseline data on health of free-ranging wildlife is essential to evaluate impacts of habitat transformation and wildlife translocation, rehabilitation, and reintroduction programs. Health information on many species, ... -
Investigation surrounding a fatal case of yellow fever in Côte d'Ivoire in 1999
(2014)Côte d'Ivoire is an endemic country for yellow fever, but no case was officially notified in recent years. In July 1999, however, one fatal case was reported. A German citizen was infected in the national park of Comoe, ... -
Full-length sequencing and genomic characterization of Bagaza, Kedougou, and Zika viruses
(2014)Many members of the genus Flavivirus are the agents of important diseases of humans, livestock, and wildlife. Currently, no complete genome sequence is available for the three African viruses, Bagaza, Zika, and Kedougou ... -
Probable Non–Vector-borne Transmission of Zika Virus, Colorado, USA
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus, has been isolated from sentinel monkeys, mosquitoes, and sick persons in Africa and Southeast Asia (1,2). Serologic surveys indicate that ZIKV infections can be relatively ... -
Zika Virus Infection, Cambodia, 2010
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV), a member of the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus, was first isolated from the blood of a sentinel rhesus monkey from the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1948 (1). Since that time, serologic studies and ... -
Genetic and Serologic Properties of Zika Virus Associated with an Epidemic, Yap State, Micronesia, 2007
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus first isolated in Uganda from a sentinel monkey in 1947. Mosquito and sentinel animal surveillance studies have demonstrated that ZIKV is endemic to Africa and Southeast ... -
Zika Virus Outbreak on Yap Island, Federated States of Micronesia
(2014)In 2007, physicians on Yap Island reported an outbreak of illness characterized by rash, conjunctivitis, and arthralgia. Although serum from some patients had IgM antibody against dengue virus, the illness seemed clinically ... -
Silent circulation of arboviruses in Cameroon
(2014)Objectives: To investigate the silent circulation and transmission of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) in the Fako Division of Cameroon. Design: This survey was conducted based on clinical observations and laboratory ... -
One-step RT-PCR for detection of Zika virus
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus circulating in Asia and Africa. Human infection induces an influenza-like syndrome that is associated with retro-orbital pain, oedema, lymphadenopathy, or diarrhea. ... -
Preliminary studies on the use of solid-phase immunosorbent techniques for the rapid detection of Wesselsbron virus (WSLV) IgM by haemagglutination-inhibition
(2014)Serum samples from 446 randomly selected persons belonging to different age groups and locations in Nigeria were tested for the presence of WSLV IgM using the flavivirus haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test adopted to ... -
Identification of mosquito-borne flavivirus sequences using universal primers and reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction
(2014)A reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) protocol for the rapid detection and identification of flaviviruses was developed using a set of universal oligonucleotide primers. These primers correspond to ... -
Arbovirus infections and viral haemorrhagic fevers in Uganda: a serological survey in Karamoja district, 1984
(2014)Abstract Sera collected in May 1984 from 132 adult residents of Karamoja district, Uganda, were examined by haemagglutination inhibition tests for antibodies against selected arboviruses, namely Chikungunya and Semliki ... -
Detection of Virus-specific Antigen in the Nuclei or Nucleoli of Cells Infected with Zika or Langat Viru
(2014)Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with molecular specificities for either the viral envelope glycoprotein (MAb 541) or the non-structural NS1 glycoprotein (MAb 109) were derived using West Nile and yellow fever (YF) viruses ... -
Surveillance of the circulation of arbovirus of medical interest in the region of eastern Senegal
(2014)A study about the circulation of arboviruses of medical interest in southeastern Senegal was conducted from 1988 to 1991, during and around the periods of transmission. Specific IgM antibodies were detected by ELISA test ... -
Genetic selection of a flavivirus-refractory strain of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti
(2014)Two inbred (isofemale) Aedes aegypti mosquito lines were derived that manifested a resistant or susceptible phenotype following ingestion of yellow fever virus; lack of virus movement from the midgut defined the resistant ... -
Antigenic Relatedness of Selected Flaviviruses: Study With Homologous And Heterologous Immune Mouse Ascitic Fluids
(2014)The antigenic relationship of 9 flaviviruses, Yellow fever (YF) , Wesselsbron (WSL) , Uganda S (UGS) , Potiskum (POT), West Nile (WN) , Banzi (BAN) , Zika (ZK) , Dengue type 1 (DEN-1) and Dengue type 2 (DEN-2), was assessed ... -
Sylvatic transmission of arboviruses among Bornean orangutans
(2014)Wild populations of nonhuman primates live in regions of sylvatic arbovirus transmission. To assess the status of arbovirus transmission in Bornean forests and the susceptibility of wild orangutans to arboviral infection, ... -
Cross-infection enhancement among African flaviviruses by immune mouse ascitic fluids
(2014)Cross-infection enhancement of seven African flaviviruses by subneutralising concentrations of antibody in immune ascitic fluids was investigated in P388D1 cell culture. Infection by all the seven flaviviruses tested was ... -
