Zika virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques causes placental dysfunction and immunopathology

Nature Communications, 2018
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of fetal growth restriction and fetal central nervous system malformations, which are outcomes broadly referred to as the Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS).

Zika virus infection in French Polynesia [PDF]

The Lancet, 2016
On Feb 1, WHO issued an alert1 on the potential fetal consequences of the Zika virus outbreak after the Brazilian authorities reported an abnormal increase in the number of cases of neonates born with microcephaly.2 Although no causal link could be clearly established, circumstantial evidence was considered worrisome enough for several countries to ...

Global properties of an age-structured virus model with saturated antibody immune response, multi-target cells and general incidence rate [PDF]

Bolet\'in de la Sociedad Matem\'atica Mexicana, Vol. 27 (2021) 26, 2017
Some viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus, can infect several types of cell populations. The age of infection can also affect the dynamics of infected cells and production of viral particles. In this work, we study a virus model with infection-age and different types of target cells which takes into account the saturation effect in antibody ...

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.

Seroprevalence of Zika and Dengue Virus Antibodies among Migrant Workers, Taiwan, 2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
A serosurvey of 600 workers newly arrived in Taiwan from 4 Southeast Asia countries showed that 18 (3%) were positive for Zika virus IgM; 6 (1%) fulfilled the World Health Organization criteria for laboratory-confirmed recent Zika virus infection.

Quantifying the relative contribution of free virus and cell-to-cell transmission routes to the propagation of hepatitis C virus infections in vitro using an agent-based model [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Experiments have shown that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in vitro disseminate both distally via the release and diffusion of cell-free virus through the medium, and locally via direct, cell-to-cell transmission. To determine the relative contribution of each mode of infection to HCV dissemination, we developed an agent-based model (ABM) that ...

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 ...

Antibacterial and antiviral activity of a highly efficient electrospun r‐PET nanofiber

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the COVID‐19 pandemic, the emergence of clean air has increased interest in developing antimicrobial air filters, targeting sterilization and public health concerns. Nanofibers are a promising approach due to their high efficiency in air filtration, while nanoparticles adhered to the fibre surfaces can improve safety due to the biocidal ...
