| zika virus and autoimmunity: from microcephaly to guillain-barré syndrome, and beyond. | zika virus (zikv) infection during pregnancy may be linked to fetal neurological complications that include brain damage and microcephaly. how the viral infection relates to fetal brain malformations is unknown. this study analyzes zikv polyprotein for peptide sharing with human proteins that, when altered, associate with microcephaly and brain calcifications. results highlight a vast viral versus human peptide commonality that, in particular, involves centriolar and centrosomal components canon ... | 2016 | 27019049 |
| zika virus and the current outbreak: an overview. | zika virus (zikv), a mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to yellow fever virus and dengue virus, is currently causing a large outbreak in the americas. historically, zikv infection was considered a sporadic, relatively mild disease characterised by fever, maculopapular rash, conjunctivitis and often arthralgia. however, current observational studies suggest that zikv may cause more severe neurological sequelae such as guillain-barre syndrome, and birth defects, mainly microcephaly, in babi ... | 2016 | 27020989 |
| zika virus: a basic overview of an emerging arboviral infection in the western hemisphere. | since february 2015, zika virus has spread throughout the western hemisphere, starting in brazil. as of march 2016, autochthonous transmission has been reported in at least 31 countries or territories. for countries in the americas, the spread of zika virus, a previously unfamiliar disease, follows similar emerging infection introductions of west nile virus and chikungunya virus and their spread throughout the american continents and the caribbean nations. the pan american health organization an ... | 2016 | 27021935 |
| characterization of a novel murine model to study zika virus. | 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 outbreak, an association with guillain-barré syndrome and microcephaly in neonates has been detected. a previous study showed that zikv requires murine adaptation to generate reproducible murine disease. in our study, a low-passage cambodian isolate caused disease and mortality in m ... | 2016 | 27022155 |
