maio 5, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaTesting for Zika is technically challenging as the virus cross-reacts immunologically with dengue and chikungunya viruses, both present in Brazil at that time.

Structures of the Zika Virus Envelope Protein and Its Complex with a Flavivirus Broadly Protective Antibody
maio 3, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaZika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, is a current global public health concern. The flavivirus envelope (E) glycoprotein is responsible for virus entry and represents a major target of neutralizing antibodies for other flaviviruses. Here, we report the structures of ZIKV E protein at 2.0 Å and in complex with a flavivirus broadly neutralizing murine antibody […]
Chloroquine inhibits Zika Virus infection in different cellular models
maio 3, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaHere we show that chloroquine exhibits antiviral activity against ZIKV in VERO, human brain microvascular endothelial, and neural stem cells. We demonstrated in vitro that chloroquine reduces the number of ZIKV-infected cells, virus production and cell death promoted by ZIKV infection without cytotoxic effects. Our results suggest that chloroquine is a promising candidate for ZIKV […]

Zika Virus Response Updates from FDA
abril 29, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaThere are no FDA-approved vaccines for Zika virus, nor is the FDA aware of vaccines or treatments in advanced development for Zika at this time. FDA stands ready to work with medical product developers to clarify regulatory and data requirements necessary to move products forward in development as quickly as possible. Read more
Prevention to Zika virus
abril 28, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaWhat we know No vaccine exists to prevent Zika virus disease (Zika). Prevent Zika by avoiding mosquito bites (see below). Mosquitoes that spread Zika virus bite mostly during the daytime. Mosquitoes that spread Zika virus also spread dengue and chikungunya viruses. Prevent sexual transmission of Zika by using condoms or not having sex April 28, […]
Zika Virus Associated with Meningoencephalitis

abril 22, 2016 /0 Comentários/em Notícias /por melinaThis is the first report on ZIKV detection among Neotropical primates, which stands as a caveat for the possibility that they could act as reservoirs, similar to the sylvatic cycle of yellow fever in Brazil. Read more
