Progress in COVID research and developments during pandemic
VIEW, Volume 3, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 The pandemic respiratory disease COVID‐19 has spread over the globe within a small span of time. Generally, there are two important points are being highlighted and considered towards the successful diagnosis and treatment process. The first point includes the reduction of the rate of infections and the next one is the decrease of the death rate.

A little less aggregation a little more replication: Viral manipulation of stress granules
WIREs RNA, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023 Viruses depend entirely on host machinery and therefore aim to conquer the host and defeat its defenses to co‐opt its resources for its own replication. Improved understanding of how viruses counteract host immune responses such as stress granule assembly, detailed here, will inform future antiviral therapeutic strategies.

Use of Urea Wash ELISA to Distinguish Zika and Dengue Virus Infections
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Serologic testing remains crucial for Zika virus diagnosis. We found that urea wash in a Zika virus nonstructural protein 1 IgG ELISA distinguishes secondary dengue virus infection from Zika virus infection with previous dengue (sensitivity 87.5 ...

Nonlinear Dynamic analysis of vector-host model for Zika infection with predatory fish Gambusia Affinis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In the present paper, we study the dynamics of a nine compartmental vector-host model for Zika virus infection where the predatory fish Gambusia Affinis is introduced into the system to control the zika infection by preying on the vector. The system has six practically feasible equilibrium points where four of them are disease-free, and the rest are ...

Zika Virus Infection with Prolonged Maternal Viremia and Fetal Brain Abnormalities.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2016 The current outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has been associated with an apparent increased risk of congenital microcephaly. We describe a case of a pregnant woman and her fetus infected with ZIKV during the 11th gestational week.

Impact of flavivirus vaccine-induced immunity on primary Zika virus antibody response in humans.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 BackgroundZika virus has recently spread to South- and Central America, causing congenital birth defects and neurological complications. Many people at risk are flavivirus pre-immune due to prior infections with other flaviviruses (e.g.
