Factores asociados a malformaciones congénitas del sistema nervioso central en recién nacidos de madres con Zika
En mayo de 2015 la OMS/OPS emitieron Alerta por virus Zika. En Colombia y Bogotá se detectó en octubre de 2015; Bogotá no es zona endémica por no tener condiciones climáticas para el desarrollo del vector presentando riesgo latente por el desplazamiento a zonas endémicas aledañas. En febrero de …

Characterization of the Antiviral Effector IFI6
… establish an antiviral state in the cell. Flaviviruses such as dengue virus, Zika virus, and West Nile virus rely intimately on host pathways for completing a replication cycle, and have developed strategies to overcome the inhibitory effect of the innate immune response. To identify host …

Metagenomic identification and characterisation of emerging and re-emerging viruses causing disease in febrile patients.
… EID have increased in recent decades, with RNA viruses responsible for a substantial proportion of them. Outbreaks are more likely to occur in areas with high biodiversity, poor sanitation and public health infrastructure, and limited resources for EID control. Furthermore, clinical symptoms of …

Experimental and computational study of the mechanics of chikungunya
… from microorganisms like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza virus, Ebola virus, Zika virus, dengue virus, and malaria have infected millions of people in Africa. In Africa, viruses with a viral envelope, i.e. enveloped viruses, like HIV and influenza, cause thousands of deaths each …

Evolution of a Novel Neuronal Sex-Specifically Spliced Gene in Mosquitoes
… transmit deadly human pathogens including dengue virus, Zika virus, West Nile Virus, and the <em>Plasmodium</em> malaria parasite. Understanding the mechanisms that generate these important sexually dimorphic behaviors in mosquitoes is a crucial step towards developing strategies to combat vector …

Impact of Mosquito Age and Insecticide Exposure on Vector Competence of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) for Zika Virus
Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause birth defects in humans and is a serious global public health concern. This arbovirus is primarily transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes; however, it can also be transmitted sexually and congenitally (from human to human). Vector-virus …

An Examination of the Safety and Efficacy of Aripo-Zika as a Zika Virus Vaccine Candidate
Flaviviruses are a genus of vector-transmitted viruses that are nearly globally distributed, and flavivirus infections can result in life threatening diseases. Many flaviviruses such as Dengue, West Nile, yellow fever and Zika viruses are globally distributed. Zika virus (ZIKV) is a single strand …

Development, Characterization, and Use of Molecular Tools to Study Immune-Driven Zika Virus Evolution
Emerging viruses represent a significant threat to human health. Understanding the drivers of emergence, such as viral evolution, is a critical avenue to combat these pathogens. One specific group of emerging pathogens of interest is flaviviruses. Flaviviruses are arthropod-borne viruses …
