The recent rapid spread of Zika virus and its unexpected linkage to birth defects and an
autoimmune neurological syndrome have generated worldwide concern. Zika virus is a …

Zika virus (ZIKV), formerly a neglected pathogen, has recently been associated with
microcephaly in fetuses, and with Guillian–Barré syndrome in adults. Here we present the …

The emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) as a major public health threat has focused research on

Platelets are essential effector cells in hemostasis. Aside from their role in coagulation,
platelets are now recognized as major inflammatory cells with key roles in the innate and …

Flaviviruses enter host cells by endocytosis initiated when the virus particles interact with
cell surface receptors. The current model suggests that flaviviruses use at least two different …

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an enveloped, icosahedral flavivirus that has structural and functional
similarities to other human flavivirus pathogens such as dengue (DENV), West Nile (WNV) …

In this work, sensitive detection of dengue virus type 2 E-proteins (DENV-2 E-proteins) was
performed in the range of 0.08 pM to 0.5 pM. The successful DENV detection at very low …
