Zika without symptoms in returning travellers: what are the implications (Publications)
and afebrile manifestations of ZIKV infections, we propose abstaining from the term "Zika fever (ZF)" in favour of "Zika virus disease (ZVD)". Owing to its unspecific clinical presentation and cross-reactivity [...] Against the background of the emergence and rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas, we report the case of an afebrile ZIKV infection in a traveller returning from Central America to highlight
Specificity, cross-reactivity and function of antibodies elicited by Zika virus infection (Publications)
Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus with homology to Dengue virus (DENV), has become a public health emergency. By characterizing memory cells from ZIKV-infected patients, we dissected ZIKV-specific
Non-vector-borne transmission of Zika virus: a systematic review (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of confirmed cases of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection resulting from non-mosquito-borne transmission have been reported. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review [...] with adverse infant outcomes including microcephaly, intracranial calcification and foetal death. Zika virus RNA has been detected in amniotic fluid, breast milk, seminal fluid, saliva, urine and blood
