Zika Virus Circulation in Mali [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
The circulation of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Mali has not been clearly characterized. Therefore, we conducted a serologic survey of 793 asymptomatic volunteers >15 years of age (2016), and 637 blood donors (2013) to assess the seroprevalence of ZIKV infection in 2 ecoclimatic regions of Mali, tropical savannah and warm semiarid region, using ELISA and ...

The Neurobiology of Zika Virus [PDF]

Neuron, 2016
Zika virus (ZIVK) represents a new threat to global health, with particular relevance to neuroscientists, due to associated newborn and adult neurological disease. Consequences of vertical infection include microcephaly with brain and eye anomalies, and consequences of adult infection include Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and meningoencephalitis ...

Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly: What do we tell the prospective parents?

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1674-1681, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly is a relatively common finding, observed during approximately 1% of obstetric ultrasounds. In the second and third trimester, mild (≥10 mm) and severe ventriculomegaly (≥15 mm) are defined according to the measurement of distal lateral ventricles that is included in the routine sonographic examination of central

Mathematical modeling of Zika disease in pregnant women and newborns with microcephaly in Brazil [PDF]

Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 41 (2018), no. 18, 8929--8941, 2017
We propose a new mathematical model for the spread of Zika virus. Special attention is paid to the transmission of microcephaly. Numerical simulations show the accuracy of the model with respect to the Zika outbreak occurred in Brazil.
