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, ... -
Complete coding sequence of Zika virus from Martinique outbreak in 2015
(2016-06)Zika virus is an Aedes-borne Flavivirus causing fever, arthralgia, myalgia rash, associated with Guillain–Barré syndrome and suspected to induce microcephaly in the fetus. We report here the complete coding sequence of the ... -
Differential Susceptibilities of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from the Americas to Zika Virus
(2016-06)Since the major outbreak in 2007 in the Yap Island, Zika virus (ZIKV) causing dengue-like syndromes has affected multiple islands of the South Pacific region. In May 2015, the virus was detected in Brazil and then spread ... -
El Niño and climate change--contributing factors in the dispersal of Zika virus in the Americas?
(2016-06)In their letter, Isaac I Bogoch and colleagues (Jan 23, p 335)1 anticipated the international spread of Zika virus from Brazil through air traffic. Permissive climatic conditions for Aedes mosquitoes might have contributed ... -
Evidence of the presence of the Zika virus in Mexico since early 2015
(2016-08)To assess the possible circulation of Zika virus (ZIKV) prior to the first documented case in Mexico, we reanalyzed the stored samples from the states of Veracruz and Yucatán, which were originally collected to test for ... -
Genomic characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Zika virus circulating in the Americas
(2016-06)The rapid spread and potential link with birth defects have made Zika virus (ZIKV) a global public health problem. The virus was discovered 70years ago, yet the knowledge about its genomic structure and the genetic variations ... -
Guillain-Barré syndrome in patients with a recent history of Zika in Cúcuta, Colombia: A descriptive case series of 19 patients from December 2015 to March 2016
(2016-08)Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is an emerging global threat and a public health problem in the Americas. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been recently associated to ZIKV. This report presents a case series of GBS possibly ... -
Healthcare students and workers' knowledge about transmission, epidemiology and symptoms of Zika fever in four cities of Colombia

Homologous Recombination of Zika viruses in the Americas
(2016-06)Chan and colleagues, in this Journal, recently described the recent emerging Zik virus epidemic.1 Zika virus is an old, unknown, mosquito-borne flavivirus, which is related to yellow fever, dengue, Japanese encephalitis ... -
The Latin American and Caribbean Climate Landscape for ZIKV Transmission
(2016)This document presents a short review of the basic climate of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), focusing on the rainfall and temperature regional differences at multiple timescales, and where present climate forecasts ... -
Mapping Zika in municipalities of one coastal department of Colombia (Sucre) using geographic information systems during the 2015-2016 outbreak: implications for public health and travel advice
(2016-05)Zika virus (ZIKV) infection emerged in 2015 as one of the most significant tropical infectious diseases in Latin America, following the geographical distribution of chikungunya virus (CHIKV). These viruses share high ... -
Model-based projections of Zika virus infections in childbearing women in the Americas
(2016-07)Zika virus is a mosquito-borne pathogen that is rapidly spreading across the Americas. Due to associations between Zika virus infection and a range of fetal maladies(1,2), the epidemic trajectory of this viral infection ... -
Outbreak of Zika Virus Infection, Chiapas State, Mexico, 2015, and First Confirmed Transmission by Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes in the Americas
(2016)Background: After decades of obscurity, Zika virus (ZIKV) has spread through the Americas since 2015 accompanied by congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Although these epidemics presumably involve transmission ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Utilizing Nontraditional Data Sources for Near Real-Time Estimation of Transmission Dynamics During the 2015-2016 Colombian Zika Virus Disease Outbreak
(2016-06)Approximately 40 countries in Central and South America have experienced local vector-born transmission of Zika virus, resulting in nearly 300,000 total reported cases of Zika virus disease to date. Of the cases that have ... -
Zika Research Projects List: Vertical transmission of Zika virus targeting the radial glial cells affects cortex development of offspring mice
(2016-06)The recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in Latin America coincided with a marked increase in microcephaly in newborns. However, the causal link between maternal ZIKV infection and malformation of the fetal brain has not been ... -
Zika Virus Disrupts Neural Progenitor Development and Leads to Microcephaly in Mice
(2016-05)The link between Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and microcephaly has raised urgent global alarm. The historical African ZIKV MR766 was recently shown to infect cultured human neural precursor cells (NPCs), but unlike the ... -
