(2016-06)Background Zika virus (ZIKV) has been linked to neonatal microcephaly. To characterize the spectrum of ZIKV disease in pregnancy, we followed patients in Rio de Janeiro to describe clinical manifestations in mothers and ... -
Zika virus infection of the central nervous system of mice
(1971)Intracerebral inoculation of newborn and 5-week-old mice with Zika virus resulted in an early and marked enlargement of astroglial cells with patchy destruction of the pyriform cells of Ammon's horn. Replication of the ... -
Zika Virus Infection Presenting with Postauricular Lymphadenopathy
(2016-06)A 28-year-old, otherwise healthy Chilean man presented in December 2015 with fever, headache, and myalgia. He had returned, 2 days ago, from a tourist trip to Colombia, where he had visited Bogota and the northern region ... -
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 ... -
Zika Virus Infection's Neonatal and Pediatric Consequences in French Department of America (ZIKA-DFA-BB)
(2016-06)The Zika epidemic has spread into the three French Overseas Departments in the Caribbean (DFAs). It is therefore urgent to set up tools to collect clinical and paraclinical data for the evaluation of potential complications ... -

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 ... -
Zika virus infection, Philippines, 2012
(2016)Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquitoborne flavivirus, was first isolated from a rhesus monkey in Uganda in 1947 (1). This positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus (family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus) has a 10,794-nt genome ... -
Zika virus infection: global update on epidemiology and potentially associated clinical manifestations
(2016-06)The years 2015–2016 have marked an important change in the epidemiology of Zika virus (ZIKV). For the first time, autochthonous transmission has been reported from continental America and the Caribbean. This has raised ... -
Zika virus infections imported to Italy: clinical, immunological and virological findings, and public health implications
(2016)We report the first two cases of laboratory confirmed Zika virus (ZIKV) infections imported into Italy from French Polynesia. Both patients presented with low grade fever, malaise, conjunctivitis, myalgia, arthralgia, ankle ... -
Zika virus infections in Nigeria: virological and seroepidemiological investigations in Oyo State
(2014)A study of Zika virus infections was carried out in four communities in Oyo State, Nigeria. Virus isolation studies between 1971 and 1975 yielded two virus isolations from human cases of mild febrile illness. Haemaggluti ... -
