The frequency of arboviral disease epidemics is increasing and vector control remains the primary mechanism to limit arboviral transmission. Container inhabiting mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are the...
Zika virus (ZIKV) has been the cause of some epidemics since 2007. The correlations of microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome with ZIKV have been noticed. Unfortunately, researchers have yet to develop an effective vaccine or...
Nicaragua experienced a large Zika epidemic in 2016, with up to 50% of the population in Managua infected. With the domesticated Aedes aegypti mosquito as its vector, it is widely assumed that Zika virus transmission occurs...
In 2016, the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection became a major public health problem, after the discovery that an alarming increase in the number of Brazilian newborns with microcephaly could be associated with the occurrence of this...
Neglected for years, Zika virus (ZIKV) has become one of the most relevant arboviruses in current public health. The recent Zika fever epidemic in the Americas generated a worldwide alert due to the association with diseases...
Zika virus (ZIKV) induces neurological and autoimmune complications such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Effective vaccines are necessary to prevent the ZIKV infection. E protein of ZIKV is responsible for virus...
To review the literature on sleep changes and brain function in children with microcephaly due to Zika virus.Systematic review conducted in the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, and...
Zika virus (ZIKV) targets neural stem cells in the developing brain. However, the majority of ZIKV-exposed children are born without apparent neurological manifestations. It remains unclear if these children were protected from...
Emerging mosquito-borne viruses continue to cause serious health problems and economic burden among billions of people living in and near the tropical belt of the world. The highly invasive mosquito species and have successively...
Zika Virus (ZIKV) belongs to the family of flaviviruses, and is neurotrophic. It has been known to cause severe congenital disabilities including microcephaly in neonates. The virus has a specific preference towards neural stem...
This study was carried out to determine seroprevalence, and risk factors of chikungunya (CHIKV), dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses in Tanzania.The study involve Buhigwe, Kalambo, Kilindi, Kinondoni, Kondoa, Kyela, Mvomero,...
An infectious agent’s pathogenic and transmission potential is heavily influenced by early events during the asymptomatic or subclinical phase of disease. During this phase, the presence of infectious agent may be...
