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:

The Asian Lineage of Zika Virus: Transmission and Evolution in Asia and the Americas
TL;DR: This review critically appraise the recent advances in molecular epidemiological studies of ZIKV performed to date and highlights the pivotal role played by genomic surveillance in elucidating the origins, dissemination and evolution of the Asian lineage of ZikV in Asia and in the Americas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel pathomechanisms in inflammatory neuropathies
TL;DR: Current understanding of antigenic targets and the relevance of new immunological concepts for inflammatory neuropathies are summarized and the gap between pre-clinical and clinical findings is illustrated and future directions of development are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A localized surface plasmon resonance-amplified immunofluorescence biosensor for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of nonstructural protein 1 of Zika virus.
TL;DR: A new immunofluorescence biosensor for the detection of nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of the ZIKV is reported, which operates using the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) signal from Plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to amplify the fluorescence intensity signal of quantum dots (QDs) within an antigen-antibody detection process.

The Diversification of Zika Virus: Are There Two Distinct Lineages?
Zhen Gong,Xiaoyu Xu,Guan-Zhu Han +2 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic tree of ZikV is reconstructed using the method based on shared amino acid replacements and it is found that ZIKV evolved into two distinct lineages, which supports the conventional phylogenetic divergence pattern of ZikaV.

TL;DR: It is found that CLR01 indeed blocked infection of EBOV and ZIKV in a dose‐dependent manner and is a broad‐spectrum inhibitor of enveloped viruses with prospects as a preventative microbicide or antiviral agent.

TL;DR: This outbreak of Zika virus illness in Micronesia represents transmission of Zikairus outside Africa and Asia and clinicians and public health officials should be aware of the risk of further expansion of Zika viruses transmission.

TL;DR: Cross neutralization tests indicate that Zika virus is not related to yellow fever, Hawaii dengue nor to the FA and GD VII strains of Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis virus.

TL;DR: The full coding region nucleic acid sequence and serologic properties of the virus were identified and the virus was identified as Crimean-Congo-Wales coronavirus.

[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.
