Biology of Zika Virus Infection in Human Skin Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that human dermal fibroblasts, epidermal keratinocytes, and immature dendritic cells are permissive to the most recent ZikV isolate, responsible for the epidemic in French Polynesia, and a major role is shown for the phosphatidylserine receptor AXL as a ZIKV entry receptor and for cellular autophagy in enhancing ZIKv replication in permissive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mouse model for Chikungunya: young age and inefficient type-I interferon signaling are risk factors for severe disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that whereas wild type (WT) adult mice are resistant to CHIKV infection, WT mouse neonates are susceptible and neonatal disease severity is age-dependent, and the neonatal phase and inefficient type-I IFN signaling as risk factors for severe CHikV-associated disease are identified.
