Association between Zika virus infection and microcephaly in Brazil, January to May, 2016: preliminary report of a case-control study
(2016-06)BACKGROUND: The microcephaly epidemic, which started in Brazil in 2015, was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by WHO in 2016. We report the preliminary results of a case-control study investigating ... -
An autochthonous case of Zika due to possible sexual transmission, Florence, Italy, 2014
(2016)At the beginning of May 2014, an Italian man is his early 30s (patient 1) returned to Florence, Italy, after a 10-day holiday in Thailand. On the day after his arrival, he developed a confluent maculopapular rash, on the ... -
Biology of Zika Virus Infection in Human Skin Cells
(2016)Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family, which includes dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis viruses, that causes a mosquito-borne disease transmitted by the Aedes genus, ... -
Birth Defects Among Fetuses and Infants of US Women With Evidence of Possible Zika Virus Infection During Pregnancy
(2017)IMPORTANCE: Understanding the risk of birth defects associated with Zika virus infection during pregnancy may help guide communication, prevention, and planning efforts. In the absence of Zika virus, microcephaly occurs ... -
CD4 T cell immune correlates of Zika virus exposure
(2018)Current knowledge of T cell immunity to Zika virus is minimal. For a disease of such diverse outcomes, from asymptomatic exposure to Guilain-Barre syndrome or neonatal microcephaly, there is a pressing need to characterize ... -
Characteristics of Children Aged Acquired Postnatally - U.S. States, January 2015-July 2016
(2016)Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that typically causes an asymptomatic infection or mild illness, although infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other serious brain abnormalities. ... -
Characterization of a Novel Murine Model to Study Zika Virus
(2016-06)The mosquito-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) is responsible for an explosive ongoing outbreak of febrile illness across the Americas. ZIKV was previously thought to cause only a mild, flu-like illness, but during the current ... -
Characterization of Lethal Zika Virus Infection in AG129 Mice
(2016-06)BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne Zika virus (ZIKV) typically causes a mild and self-limiting illness known as Zika fever, which often is accompanied by maculopapular rash, headache, and myalgia. During the current outbreak in ... -
Characterizing the Zika virus genome - A bioinformatics study
(2016-06)The recent epidemic of Zika virus infections in South and Latin America have raised serious concern on its ramifications for the population in the Americas and spread of the virus worldwide. The Zika virus disease is a ... -
Clinical analysis of two cases of imported children Zika virus infection in China
(2016-06)Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, outcome and diagnosis of two cases of imported children Zika virus infection in China. Method: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical characteristics, ... -
Clinical and Imaging Findings in an Infant with Zika Embryopathy
(2016-06)Recent Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks have been associated with an increased incidence of neonatal microcephaly. Subsequently, tropism for the brain was established in human fetal brain tissue. We present the first congenital ... -
Clinical and laboratory profile of Zika virus infection in dengue suspected patients: A case series
(2016-06)Background The Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging arthropod-borne virus related to the dengue virus (DENV), and shows a similar clinical profile as other arboviral diseases, such as dengue and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). ... -
Clinical Characterisation of Zika Virus Infection in the Context of Co-circulating Arboviruses in Latin America - the WHO-IDAMS-ISARIC Protocol
(2016)Knowledge of the clinical manifestations and natural history of disease in patients infected with Zika and co-circulating arboviruses (including Chikungunya and Dengue) in Latin America remains incomplete. Currently, ... -
Clinical features and neuroimaging (CT and MRI) findings in presumed Zika virus related congenital infection and microcephaly: retrospective case series study
(2016-06)OBJECTIVE: To report radiological findings observed in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the first cases of congenital infection and microcephaly presumably associated with the Zika ... -
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 ... -
The clinical spectrum of Zika virus in returning travelers
(2016-06)The clinical spectrum of Zika virus (Zika virus) had to date been described in small series from endemic/epidemic countries and is not well established. METHODS: We describe the clinical manifestations of laboratory-proven ... -
Co-infection with Zika and dengue viruses in 2 patients, New Caledonia, 2014
(2016)Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease in tropical and subtropical countries. Every year, dengue virus (DENV) infections cause more than 50 million cases, 500,000 hospitalizations, and 12,500 deaths ... -
