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 ... -
Concurrent outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus infections – an unprecedented epidemic wave of mosquito-borne viruses in the Pacific 2012–2014
(2014)Since January 2012, the Pacific Region has experienced 28 new documented outbreaks and circulation of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus. These mosquito-borne disease epidemics seem to become more frequent and diverse, and ... -
Dengue, chikungunya and Zika co-infection in a patient from Colombia
(2016)In Latin America, until 2014, dengue (DENV) was the only virus transmitted significantly by Aedes spp. [1]. Unfortunately since that year, chikungunya (CHIKV) arrived as a relevant secondary arboviral disease, with the ... -
The Evaluation of Potential Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue Infections in Mexico (Zik01)
(2016-07)The proportion of subjects that have confirmed Zika, Chikungunya, or Dengue (including co-infections) from the subjects presenting with fever and/or rash in southeastern Mexico. -
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 ... -
