TL;DR: Phyllanthus phillyreifolius could act as an important source of plant metabolite geraniin which is a promising antiviral compound in the fight against DENV and ZIKV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika virus, vaccines, and antiviral strategies.
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to provide an overview and update of the progress of research on anti-ZIKV vaccine and medications until the end of 2017, with a special emphasis on drugs that can be used during pregnancy.

Zika Virus Persistently and Productively Infects Primary Adult Sensory Neurons In Vitro.
TL;DR: It is determined that ZIKV persistently and productively infects sensory neurons of the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia, which innervate glands and mucosa of the face and the genitourinary tract, respectively, without apparent injury.

History of arthropod-borne virus infections in French Polynesia.
Maite Aubry,Van-Mai Cao-Lormeau +1 more
TL;DR: From May 2015DENV-1 has been the only arbovirus transmitted in French Polynesia, but the reemergence of DENV-2 is highly expected since the detection of two autochthonous cases of DENv-2 infection in June 2018.

[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.
