The phenotypic spectrum of congenital Zika syndrome [PDF]
In October 2015, Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MoH). In response, the Brazilian Society of Medical Genetics established a task force (SBGM-ZETF) to study the phenotype of infants born with microcephaly due to ZIKV congenital infection and delineate the phenotypic spectrum of this newly recognized teratogen. This study was

Clinical, Neuroimaging and Video Electroencephalography Findings in Children With Congenital Zika Syndrome: An Analysis From a Neurorehabilitation Centre. [PDF]
Children with congenital Zika syndrome followed at a neurorehabilitation centre demonstrated severe neurological impairment characterized by microcephaly, cortical malformations, intracranial calcifications and multifocal epileptiform activity. Integrated clinical, neuroimaging and video‐electroencephalographic (EEG) findings highlight the extensive ...

Asymptomatic Prenatal Zika Virus Infection and Congenital Zika Syndrome [PDF]
Abstract To investigate to what extent asymptomatic vs symptomatic prenatal Zika virus infections contribute to birth defects, we identified 3 prospective and 8 retrospective studies. The ratio varied greatly in the retrospective studies, most likely due to recruitment and recall bias.

Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes do not support replication of Zika virus [PDF]
The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas raised many questions about the role of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in transmission, in addition to the key role played by the vector Aedes aegypti.
