This review explores how antibody engineering and display technologies are driving therapeutic advances against mosquito‐borne orthoflaviviruses such as Zika, dengue, and yellow fever viruses. It highlights diverse neutralizing targets on the envelope protein, including the conserved fusion loop, and discusses how Fc engineering, rational antigen ...

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human

An electrochemical biosensor for Zika virus (ZIKV) detection is described. A DNA probe was immobilized on a gold electrode. After hybridization with the target (ZIKV), safranin was used as an intercalating indicator. Detection was performed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), where the current signal increases with the target concentration.

Host and viral mechanisms of congenital Zika syndrome [PDF]
In 2015-2016, in the Americas, and especially in northeast Brazil, a significant number of cases of microcephaly and other congenital brain abnormalities were linked with an outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in pregnant women. While maternal symptoms of ZIKV are generally mild and self-limiting, clinical presentation in fetuses and newborns ...

The TH1/TH2 Response Imbalance Zika Virus Pathogenesis: An Immunological Paradox
ABSTRACT Since its identification in 1947 and its global emergence in the Americas decades later, the Zika virus (ZIKV) has proven to be a multifaceted challenge to public health. Among the many aspects that remain poorly understood, the complex immunological paradox between Th1 and Th2 responses stands out, playing a central role in the ...

ABSTRACT Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a neurotropic, double‐stranded DNA virus from the Herpesviridae family. It has a large genome, infects the majority of populations, and typically causes asymptomatic infections in healthy individuals. After the initial infection with established lifelong latency, HCMV can reactivate and cause disorders including

Evidence of Abortion Attitude Flexibility during COVID‐19 in Pernambuco, Brazil
Abstract This study examines changes in women's attitudes toward abortion in Brazil during the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic, focusing on the role of religious affiliation. Brazil provides a unique context for examining abortion attitudes because of its strict abortion policies, changing religious landscape, and back‐to‐back Zika and COVID‐19 ...
