A tiny insect called a midge spreads the disease, and the earliest known case dates back to 1955 in a forest worker near a ...

Dengue is moving in concert with the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the virus and thrives in tropical and sub-tropical zones that are expanding. The same mosquito also spreads a ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers designed two dumbbell-1 (DB-1) mutant Zika virus (ZIKV) infectious clones termed ZIKV-TL.PK and ZIKV-p.2.5’.

Studies regarding the brain damage caused by the Zika virus have revealed the virus' predilection for a certain neural cell: the astrocyte. However, few studies have sought to identify the ...

Previous studies regarding the damage of the Zika virus on the brain had already pointed out the virus's predilection for a certain neural cell: the astrocyte. However, few studies have proposed ...

Knowing Zika’s structure and the order of its amino acids — its molecular building blocks — gives scientists more tools to figure out how the virus infects cells. To connect the structure of ...

Figure 1.CD4 T cell responses to Zika virus infection. (A) Schematics of a flavivirus particle representing an immature (left) and mature (right) virion that comprises three structural proteins: C ...

With cryo-EM, the researchers instead freeze the cells quickly onto a grid with liquid ethane, which doesn’t disrupt the structure as much. They then hit the cells with electrons, tiny subatomic ...

When the Zika virus was first isolated from a Ugandan forest monkey in 1947 and found in mildly ill humans a few years later, it was hardly worth a mention in the annals of human disease.

Last year, Kuhn’s team reported the structure of the mature Zika virus (SN: 4/30/16, p. 10). The new work offers another illuminating peek at Zika — a baby picture, of sorts.

Researchers have discovered a new structure of the deadly zika virus in order to understand how like virus infects and harms the host's cells and spreads out. Advertisment हमारे Whatsapp Channel को ...
