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

Zika Virus and Dengue Fever The odour-baited trap may also offer a solution to diseases like Dengue fever and the Zika virus. “Also Aedes aegypti, the vector transmitting the Zika-virus or Degue [...] attracted by human scent and could possibly be contained by such a trap”, says Tom Smith from Swiss TPH. Zika and dengue fever could therefore be combated with the odour-baited traps. Malaria: a major cause of

Moreover, the consortium aims to identify and validate further viral targets and thereby contribute [...] involved in supporting the monitoring of the clinical trials aiming to test a small molecule against Zika virus.
