Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of a new epidemic/epizootic Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus in South America
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of strains isolated during two outbreaks indicated that the new epidemic/epizootic virus(es) evolved recently from an enzootic VEE virus in northern South America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of the Simbu serogroup of the genus Bunyavirus.
TL;DR: Both analyses revealed that the Simbu serogroup viruses have evolved into at least five major phylogenetic lineages, which were consistent with the previous serological data, but provided a more detailed understanding of the relatedness amongst many viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential for Zika Virus to Establish a Sylvatic Transmission Cycle in the Americas.
Benjamin M. Althouse,Nikos Vasilakis,Amadou A. Sall,Mawlouth Diallo,Scott C. Weaver,Kathryn A. Hanley +5 more
TL;DR: A sylvatic cycle of ZikV would make future elimination efforts in the Americas practically impossible, and paints a dire picture for the epidemiology of ZIKV and the ability to end the ongoing outbreak of congenital Zika syndrome.

Yang Liu,Jianying Liu,Kenneth S. Plante,Jessica A. Plante,Xuping Xie,Xianwen Zhang,Zhiqiang Ku,Zhiqiang An,Dionna Scharton,Craig Schindewolf,Vineet D. Menachery,Pei Yong Shi,Scott C. Weaver +12 more
TL;DR: The N501Y substitution recapitulated the phenotype of enhanced viral transmission seen with the combined 8 UK spike mutations, suggesting it is a major determinant responsible for increased transmission of this variant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika Virus: Diagnosis, Therapeutics, and Vaccine.
Chao Shan,Xuping Xie,Alan D.T. Barrett,Mariano A. Garcia-Blanco,Robert B. Tesh,Pedro Fernando da Costa Vasconcelos,Nikos Vasilakis,Scott C. Weaver,Pei Yong Shi +8 more
TL;DR: The current explosive epidemic of Zika virus in South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean, poses a global public health emergency.
