Dengue Virus Immunity Increases Zika Virus-Induced Damage during Pregnancy

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The presence of DENV‐specific antibodies in ZIKV‐infected pregnant mice significantly increased placental damage, fetal growth restriction, and fetal resorption and was associated with enhanced viral replication in the placenta that coincided with an increased frequency of infected trophoblasts.

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement: A Challenge for Developing a Safe Dengue Vaccine.

TL;DR: The generation of type-specific antibodies to each of the four DENV serotypes by the designed vaccines could avoid the immune evasion mechanisms of DENVs and thus avoid the ADE phenomenon largely associated with the prM and FLE antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-Reactive Immunity Among Flaviviruses.

TL;DR: The knowledge of the functional immune outcomes that arise from varied flaviviral immune statuses are described and the cross-reactive antibody and T cell immune responses that are protective versus pathological are addressed.

Comprehensive analysis of COVID-19 during pregnancy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined key aspects of pregnancy that may be impacted by COVID-19 and summarized the current literature on SARS-CoV-2 infection of the placenta and in utero vertical transmission.

Zika Virus Associated with Microcephaly

TL;DR: The case of an expectant mother who had a febrile illness with rash at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy while she was living in Brazil and revealed microcephaly with calcifications in the fetal brain and placenta is described.

Pathogenesis of dengue: challenges to molecular biology

TL;DR: This work has identified a severe syndrome, dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, in Southeast Asian children, which recently has also been identified in children infected with the virus in Puerto Rico.

Dengue Viremia Titer, Antibody Response Pattern, and Virus Serotype Correlate with Disease Severity

TL;DR: Higher peak titers were associated with increased disease severity for the 31 patients with a peak titer identified, and increased dengue disease severity correlated with high viremia titer, secondary d Dengue virus infection, and DEN-2 virus type.
