A robust method for the rapid generation of recombinant Zika virus expressing the GFP reporter gene
(2016-07)Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a major public health problem with severe human congenital and neurological anomalies. The screening of anti-ZIKV compounds and neutralizing antibodies needs reliable and rapid virus-based ... -
A sero-epidemiological survey for certain arboviruses (Togaviridae) in Pakistan
(2014)Complement-fixation test reactions to eight viruses of the family Togaviridae were studied in 372 serum samples (157 rodents, 172 domestic animals, 43 humans) from Pakistan. Antibodies to each tested virus were detected. ... -
