Zika virus. II. Pathogenicity and physical properties
(1952)(1) A description is given of the adaptation to mice of two strains of Zika virus. Zika is the name of a forest area near Entebbe, Uganda, where both strains of virus were isolated. One of the strains was isolated from a ... -
Zika virus. I. Isolations and serological specifi city
(1952)(1) The isolation of what is believed to be a hitherto unrecorded virus is described. The first isolation was made in April 1947 from the serum of a pyrexial rhesus monkey caged in the canopy of Zika Forest. The second ... -
Comparison by electron microscopy of the Ntaya and Zika viruses
(1953)Swiss albino mice were inoculated with Ntaya and Zika virus strains. Concentrated suspension of the brains and cords of the mice were prepared and examined with the electron microscope. The Ntaya virus preparations showed ... -

(1952)During a period of 10 years (1937-1947) 10 different viruses were isolated at the Yellow Fever Research Institute (now Virus Research Institute), Entebbe, Uganda. Two of these, yellow fever and Rift Valley fever virus, ... -
Zika virus: a report on three cases of human infection during an epidemic of jaundice in Nigeria
(1954)During an epidemic of jaundice in Eastern Nigeria infection with Zika virus was shown to have occurred in three patients, one by isolation of the virus and two by a rise in serum antibodies. Two of these patients gave ... -

Twelve isolations of Zika virus from Aedes (Stegomyia) africanus
(1964)In continuation of a series of studies of arboreal mosquitos as virus vectors in Uganda, 12 strains of Zika virus and one strain of another Group B arbovirus were isolated between November 1961 and June 1963 from pools of ... -
Zika virus infection in man
