TLDR
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.About:

Supramolecular arrangement of the full-length Zika virus NS5.
Diego S. Ferrero,Victor M. Ruiz-Arroyo,Nicolas Soler,Isabel Usón,Isabel Usón,Alba Guarné,Núria Verdaguer +6 more
TL;DR: This work has used integrated structural biology approaches to characterize the supramolecular arrangement of the full-length ZIKV NS5, highlighting the assembly and interfaces between NS5 monomers within a dimeric structure, as well as the dimer-dimer interactions to form higher order fibril-like structures.

Guillain-Barré syndrome following varicella-zoster virus infection.
Badrul Islam,Zhahirul Islam,Corine H. GeurtsvanKessel,Israt Jahan,Hubert P. Endtz,Hubert P. Endtz,Quazi Deen Mohammad,Bart C. Jacobs +7 more
TL;DR: VZV infection is associated with the demyelinating subtype of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, clearly distinct from the axonal form of GBS that predominate in countries like Bangladesh.

Could the Recent Zika Epidemic Have Been Predicted
Ángel G. Muñoz,Ángel G. Muñoz,Ángel G. Muñoz,Madeleine C. Thomson,Madeleine C. Thomson,Anna M. Stewart-Ibarra,Gabriel A. Vecchi,Xandre Chourio,Patricia Najera,Zelda Moran,Xiaosong Yang +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that above-normal suitable conditions for the occurrence of the zika epidemic at the beginning of 2015 could have been successfully predicted at least 1 month in advance for several zika hotspots, and in particular for Northeast Brazil: the heart of the epidemic.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome].
TL;DR: High-dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days) and PE are equally effective in intermediate and severe forms and the choice between the two treatments depends on their respective contra-indications and local availability.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the ZikV identified belongs to the Asian clade, the first report of ZIKV infection in Brazil, and the result was confirmed by DNA sequencing.
