The 3.8 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of Zika virus
(2016-06)The recent rapid spread of Zika virus and its unexpected linkage to birth defects and an autoimmune neurological syndrome have generated worldwide concern. Zika virus is a flavivirus like the dengue, yellow fever, and West ... -
Antibody-mediated enhancement of Wesselsbron virus in P388D1 cells
(2014)Antibody-mediated enhancement of Wesselsbron virus was investigated in P388D1 cell cultures. Virus infection was enhanced in culture by various dilutions of homologous and heterologous flavivirus antibody. Highest enhancement ... -
Antigenic Relatedness of Selected Flaviviruses: Study With Homologous And Heterologous Immune Mouse Ascitic Fluids
(2014)The antigenic relationship of 9 flaviviruses, Yellow fever (YF) , Wesselsbron (WSL) , Uganda S (UGS) , Potiskum (POT), West Nile (WN) , Banzi (BAN) , Zika (ZK) , Dengue type 1 (DEN-1) and Dengue type 2 (DEN-2), was assessed ... -
Arthropod-borne virus antibodies in sera of residents of Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria 1980
(2014)A survey for haemagglutination-inhibiting arthropod-borne virus antibody was carried out in the Kainji Lake area of Nigeria. Of 267 persons tested, 139 (52%) and 158 (59%) had alphavirus and flavivirus group HI antibody, ... -
Complete coding sequence of zika virus from a French polynesia outbreak in 2013
(2014)Zika virus is an arthropod-borne Flavivirus member of the Spondweni serocomplex, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. We report here the complete coding sequence of a Zika virus strain belonging to the Asian lineage, isolated ... -
Computed Tomographic Findings in Microcephaly Associated with Zika Virus
(2016-06)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that is transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.1 Starting in May 2015, an outbreak of ZIKV infection has been reported in Brazil in association with an increasing ... -
Cross-infection enhancement among African flaviviruses by immune mouse ascitic fluids
(2014)Cross-infection enhancement of seven African flaviviruses by subneutralising concentrations of antibody in immune ascitic fluids was investigated in P388D1 cell culture. Infection by all the seven flaviviruses tested was ... -
Detection of Virus-specific Antigen in the Nuclei or Nucleoli of Cells Infected with Zika or Langat Viru
(2014)Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with molecular specificities for either the viral envelope glycoprotein (MAb 541) or the non-structural NS1 glycoprotein (MAb 109) were derived using West Nile and yellow fever (YF) viruses ... -
A diagnostic polymerase chain reaction assay for Zika virus
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus. Infection results in a dengue-like illness with fever, headache, malaise, and a maculopapular rash. Nearly all cases are mild and self-limiting but in 2007, a large outbreak ... -
First Complete Genome Sequence of Zika Virus (Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) from an Autochthonous Transmission in Brazil
(2016-06)We report here the genome sequence of Zika virus, strain ZikaSPH2015, containing all structural and nonstructural proteins flanked by the 5' and 3' untranslated region. It was isolated in São Paulo state, Brazil, in 2015, ... -
Full-length sequencing and genomic characterization of Bagaza, Kedougou, and Zika viruses
(2014)Many members of the genus Flavivirus are the agents of important diseases of humans, livestock, and wildlife. Currently, no complete genome sequence is available for the three African viruses, Bagaza, Zika, and Kedougou ... -
Genetic and Serologic Properties of Zika Virus Associated with an Epidemic, Yap State, Micronesia, 2007
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus first isolated in Uganda from a sentinel monkey in 1947. Mosquito and sentinel animal surveillance studies have demonstrated that ZIKV is endemic to Africa and Southeast ... -
Genetic Characterization of Zika Virus Strains: Geographic Expansion of the Asian Lineage
(2014)Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus distributed throughout much of Africa and Asia. Infection with the virus may cause acute febrile illness that clinically resembles dengue fever. A recent study indicated the ... -
Genetic selection of a flavivirus-refractory strain of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti
(2014)Two inbred (isofemale) Aedes aegypti mosquito lines were derived that manifested a resistant or susceptible phenotype following ingestion of yellow fever virus; lack of virus movement from the midgut defined the resistant ... -
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 ... -
High specificity of a novel Zika virus ELISA in European patients after exposure to different flaviviruses
(2016-06)The current Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in the Americas caused an increase in diagnostic requests in European countries. Here we demonstrate high specificity of the Euroimmun anti-ZIKV IgG and IgM ELISA tests using putative ... -
Identification of mosquito-borne flavivirus sequences using universal primers and reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction
(2014)A reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) protocol for the rapid detection and identification of flaviviruses was developed using a set of universal oligonucleotide primers. These primers correspond to ... -
Limitations of the complement-fixation test for distinguishing naturally acquired from vaccine-induced yellow fever infection in flavivirus-hyperendemic areas
(2014)On the basis of previous studies, it has long been stated that 17D yellow fever (YF) vaccine generally does not induce complement-fixing (CF) antibodies, and that the presence of CF antibodies could be used in epidemiological ... -
