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.

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
