TL;DR: The Zika virus genome was detected in amniotic fluid samples of two pregnant women in Brazil whose fetuses were diagnosed with microcephaly and results suggest that the virus can cross the placental barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika virus impairs growth in human neurospheres and brain organoids
Patricia P. Garcez,Erick Correia Loiola,Rodrigo Madeiro da Costa,Luiza M. Higa,Pablo Trindade,Rodrigo Delvecchio,Juliana M. Nascimento,Rodrigo Brindeiro,Amilcar Tanuri,Stevens K. Rehen +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that ZIKV abrogates neurogenesis during human brain development when it targets human brain cells, reducing their viability and growth as neurospheres and brain organoids.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Combined findings from clinical, laboratory, imaging, and pathological examinations provided a more complete picture of the severe damage and developmental abnormalities caused by ZIKV infection than has been previously reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue culture adaptation of foot-and-mouth disease virus selects viruses that bind to heparin and are attenuated in cattle.
TL;DR: Results indicate that in vitro cultivation of FMDV type O selects viruses that bind to heparin and that viruses with theHeparin-binding phenotype are attenuated in the natural host.
