Zika virus (ZIKV) is a strongly neurotropic flavivirus whose infection has been associated
with microcephaly in neonates. However, clinical and experimental evidence indicate that …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are primarily maintained in nature in transmission
cycles between hematophagous arthropods and vertebrate hosts, but an increasing number …

Climate change and urbanization are increasing the distribution of insect vectors of
infectious diseases. Dengue virus is an arbovirus that causes nearly 100 million …

Abstract During the 2015–2016 Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in the Americas, serological cross-
reactivity with other flaviviruses and relatively high costs of nucleic acid testing in the region …

Arboviruses are viral pathogens transmitted by blood-borne vectors that impose a great
social and economic burden globally. Most clinical surveillance of arbovirus outbreaks …

Despite substantial advances in knowledge and understanding about the Zika virus (ZIKV),
limitations in surveillance for this mainly asymptomatic infection constrain attempts to …

This study aimed to analyze the detection and duration of the Zika virus (ZIKV) in plasma,
urine, saliva, sweat, rectal swabs, vaginal secretions, breast milk, and semen and to explore …

Background Chikungunya is a widely distributed, re-emerging tropical disease caused by
the chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Little is known about the duration for which CHIK RNA are …

We generated 238 Zika virus (ZIKV) genomes from 135 persons in Brazil who had samples
collected over 1 year to evaluate virus persistence. Phylogenetic inference clustered the …

The ability of self-replicating oncolytic viruses (OVs) to preferentially infect and lyse cancer
cells while stimulating anti-tumor immunity of the host strongly indicates its value as a new …
