The inoculum dose of Zika virus can affect the viral replication dynamics, cytokine responses and survival rate in immunocompromised AG129 mice

Molecular Biomedicine
Zika virus, a mosquito-borne arbovirus, has repeatedly caused large pandemics with symptoms worsening from mild and self-limiting diseases to Guillain–Barré syndrome in adults and fetal microcephaly in newborns.

Copper‐Catalyzed Synthesis of C‐2 Substituted Indolin‐3‐Ones and Indolin‐3‐One [4+2] Cycloadducts Through Azide‐Tethered Iodonium Ylides

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Azide‐tethered iodonium ylides under copper catalysis generate metallocarbenes that undergo intramolecular trapping by the azide moiety and generate a reactive C‐acylimine, effectively coupling two nucleophilic centers. This intermediate can be trapped by a wide range of nucleophiles or 1,3‐dienes producing complex indolin‐3‐ones and ...

Viral metagenomic analysis reveals potential biological hazards in non‐human primates in a zoo

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The investigation identifies the presence of Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), Baboon endogenous virus (BAV), Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), and Baboon endogenous virus (BaEV) in non‐human primates (NHPs) at the Zoo, indicating potential zoonotic threats.

Antibodies Elicited by an NS1-Based Vaccine Protect Mice against Zika Virus

mBio, 2019
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus which can cause severe disease in humans, including microcephaly and other congenital malformations in newborns and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. There are currently no approved prophylactics or therapeutics

m6A‐mRNA Reader YTHDF2 Identified as a Potential Risk Gene in Autism With Disproportionate Megalencephaly

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among autistic individuals, a subphenotype of disproportionate megalencephaly (ASD‐DM) seen at three years of age is associated with co‐occurring intellectual disability and poorer prognoses later in life. However, many of the genes contributing to ASD‐DM have yet to be delineated. In this study, we identified additional ASD‐DM candidate genes

Family Planning in the Sierra Leone Ebola Outbreak: Women's Proximal and Distal Reasoning

Studies in Family Planning, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 575-593, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Sierra Leone was highly impacted by the 2014–2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak, with 3,955 recorded deaths. Already stressed maternal health services were deeply affected by the outbreak due to fears of viral transmission, reallocation of maternity staff, and broader policies to stop transmission including travel restrictions.

Some Models for Epidemics of Vector-Transmitted Diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Vector-transmitted diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya have been spreading rapidly in many parts of the world. The Zika virus has been known since 1947 and invaded South America in 2013. It can be transmitted not only by (mosquito) vectors but also directly through sexual contact.

Molecular Tweezers for Biomimetic Recognition of Carbohydrates

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Molecular tweezers have emerged as effective binders for biomolecules such as lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, eliciting biological activities. Tweezer molecules, which exploit an open and adaptive binding cavity, can target relatively large guests, such as oligosaccharides and glycans, and often provide some advantages over corresponding ...

Optimal Control of Microcephaly Under Vertical Transmission of Zika [PDF]

Axioms 13 (2024), no. 11, Art. 772, 14pp
The Zika virus, known for its potential to induce neurological conditions such as microcephaly when transmitted vertically from infected mothers to infants, has sparked widespread concerns globally. Motivated by this, we propose an optimal control problem for the prevention of vertical Zika transmission.
