How Zika outbreaks could happen, even in areas with prior immunity. Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered that the Zika virus…
An international team of researchers has developed a new mathematical tool that could help scientists to deliver more accurate predictions of how diseases, including COVID-19,…
Brazilian study correlates consumption of contaminated water with the severity of malformations caused by the Zika virus. Between 2015 and 2016, Brazil suffered from an…
A new study led by scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has shown for the first time that a single dose of…
Researchers from the University of Adelaide have made significant advances in developing a novel vaccine against Zika virus, which could potentially lead to global elimination…
Biologists at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons have leveraged a computational method to map protein-protein interactions between all known human-infecting viruses and…
When the Zika virus arrived in the Americas in early 2015, it struck hard, infecting 73% of people in one Brazilian community at the epicenter…
A Zika vaccine could have a substantial effect on mitigating and preventing future Zika virus outbreaks. Through a combination of direct protection and indirect reduction…
A new study from Yale University shows that the same proteins that mount a potent immune response to Zika viral infection can also harm the…
A new study published in Cell Reports details how a small-molecule inhibitor tested by researchers at Yale and Stanford may be the answer to blocking…
A team of researchers has succeeded in producing large quantities of Zika viruses in the laboratory – a crucial prerequisite for the production of vaccines….
By programming RNA nanoparticles, researchers from MIT have devised a new vaccine candidate for the Zika virus. The vaccine consists of strands of genetic material…
A newly published study from Yale University shows that the Zika virus reduces the size of testes in infected mice up to 21 days after…
A newly published study demonstrates for the first time that the Zika virus can cause glaucoma in infants who were exposed to the virus during…
A team of researchers has isolated a human monoclonal antibody that in a mouse model “markedly reduced” infection by the Zika virus. The antibody, called…
In a newly published study, researchers from Yale University report that infection by the Zika virus diverts a key protein necessary for neural cell division…
