The immunology of Zika Virus [PDF]

F1000Research, 2018
Zika virus (ZIKV) was initially thought to cause only mild, self-limiting symptoms. However, recent outbreaks have been associated with the autoimmune disease Guillain-Barré syndrome and causally linked to a congenital malformation known as microcephaly. This has led to an urgent need for a safe and effective vaccine.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.

Zika virus infection in the returning traveller: what every neurologist should know [PDF]

, 2018
Zika virus has been associated with a wide range of neurological complications. Neurologists in areas without current active transmission of the virus may be confronted with Zika-associated neurological disease, as a large number of returning travellers ...

Zika Virus Associated with Microcephaly.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
A widespread epidemic of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection was reported in 2015 in South and Central America and the Caribbean. A major concern associated with this infection is the apparent increased incidence of microcephaly in fetuses born to mothers ...

Zika Virus IgM Detection and Neutralizing Antibody Profiles 12–19 Months after Illness Onset

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Data on the duration of detectable Zika virus–specific IgM in infected persons are limited. Neutralizing antibody cross-reactivity occurs between Zika virus and related flaviviruses, but the degree to which this confounds diagnosis is uncertain.

In situ immune response and mechanisms of cell damage in central nervous system of fatal cases microcephaly by Zika virus

Scientific Reports, 2018
Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently caused a pandemic disease, and many cases of ZIKV infection in pregnant women resulted in abortion, stillbirth, deaths and congenital defects including microcephaly, which now has been proposed as ZIKV congenital syndrome ...

Lack of Durable Cross-Neutralizing Antibodies Against Zika Virus from Dengue Virus Infection

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Cross-reactive antibodies elicited by dengue virus (DENV) infection might affect Zika virus infection and confound serologic tests. Recent data demonstrate neutralization of Zika virus by monoclonal antibodies or human serum collected early after DENV ...

Nonhuman Primate Models of Zika Virus Infection and Disease during Pregnancy

Viruses, 2021
Since the explosive outbreak of Zika virus in Brazil and South/Central America in 2015–2016, the frequency of infections has subsided, but Zika virus remains present in this region as well as other tropical and sub-tropical areas of the globe.
