TL;DR: This is the first study providing evidence for Zika virus infection causing Guillain-Barré syndrome, and because Zika virus is spreading rapidly across the Americas, at risk countries need to prepare for adequate intensive care beds capacity to manage patients with Guillay-B Barré syndrome.

TL;DR: Observation supports the possibility that ZIKV could be transmitted sexually in women during pregnancy and during sexual intercourse.

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.

TL;DR: The clinical and laboratory features of two mothers and their newborns who had ZikAV infection as confirmed by ZIKAV RT-PCR performed on serum collected within four days post-delivery in date are described.

TL;DR: Plasma immune to DENV showed substantial cross-reaction to ZIKV and was able to drive antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of ZikaV infection, indicating that immunity toDENV might drive greater ZikV replication and have clear implications for disease pathogenesis and future vaccine programs.
