(2014-09-05)The Routine Practices and Additional Precautions for Preventing the Transmission of Infection in Healthcare Settings guideline provides a framework for preventing the transmission of microorganisms to patients, healthcare ... -
Potential of selected Senegalese Aedes spp. mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) to transmit Zika virus
(2015)Zika virus (ZIKV; genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is an emerging virus of medical importance maintained in a zoonotic cycle between arboreal Aedes spp. mosquitoes and nonhuman primates in African and Asian forests. ... -
Seroprevalence of arboviruses among blood donors in French Polynesia, 2011–2013
(2015)French Polynesia is a high epidemic/endemic area for arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). We recently reported the silent circulation of Ross River virus and absence of active transmission of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) ... -
Zika Virus Outbreak, Bahia, Brazil
(2015)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus related to yellow fever virus, dengue virus (DENV), and West Nile virus (WNV). It is a single-stranded positive RNA virus (10,794-nt genome) that is closely related to the ... -
Zika Virus Transmission from French Polynesia to Brazil
(2015)To date, the largest ZIKV outbreak occurred in French Polynesia during 2013–2014. The outbreak spread to other Pacific Islands: New Caledonia, Cook Islands, Easter Island, Vanuatu, and Solomon Islands (2). The origin of ... -
Risk assessment for yellow fever in western and North-Western provinces of Zambia
(2015)Background: North-Western and Western provinces of Zambia were reclassified as low-risk areas for yellow fever (YF). However, the current potential for YF transmission in these areas is unclear. Aims: To determine the ... -
Impact of climate and mosquito vector abundance on sylvatic arbovirus circulation dynamics in Senegal
(2015)Sylvatic arboviruses have been isolated in Senegal over the last 50 years. The ecological drivers of the pattern and frequency of virus infection in these species are largely unknown. We used time series analysis and ... -
Detection of Zika Virus in Urine
(2015)We describe the kinetics of Zika virus (ZIKV) detection in serum and urine samples of 6 patients. Urine samples were positive for ZIKV >10 days after onset of disease, which was a notably longer period than for serum ... -

(2015-11-13)Background: Acute hypoxaemia de novo or on a background of chronic hypoxaemia is a common reason for admission to intensive care and for provision of mechanical ventilation. Various refinements of mechanical ventilation ... -
A detailed comparative analysis of codon usage bias in Zika virus
(2016)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the family Flaviviridae and its genome consists of a single-stranded positive sense RNA molecule with 10,794 nucleotides. Clinical manifestations of disease caused by ZIKV infection range ... -
Associated ultrasonographic findings in fetuses with microcephaly because of suspected Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy
(2016)OBJECTIVE: To describe fetal ultrasonographic findings and outcomes in a series of cases of fetal microcephaly associated with Zika virus infection. METHODS: Retrospective case series of microcephaly with definite ... -
