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:

Transfusion-Transmitted Zika Virus Infection in Pregnant Mice Leads to Broad Tissue Tropism With Severe Placental Damage and Fetal Demise.
Wanbo Tai,Denis Voronin,Jiawei Chen,Weili Bao,Debra Kessler,Beth H. Shaz,Shibo Jiang,Shibo Jiang,Karina Yazdanbakhsh,Lanying Du +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that transfusion-related transmission of ZIKV during initial stage of infection, which harbors high plasma viral titers, can cause serious adverse complications in the pregnant recipients and their fetuses and babies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal patterns and geographic heterogeneity of Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks in French Polynesia and Central America.
TL;DR: A significant difference between transmissibility (as quantified by R0) in island populations as opposed to land-based countries/territories is found, possibly suggesting an important role of geographic heterogeneity in the spread of vector-borne diseases and its future course, which requires further monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiglycolipid antibodies in Guillain-Barré and Fisher syndromes: discovery, current status and future perspective
TL;DR: In this article, Antiglycolipid antibodies, in particular antigangliosides antibodies, are mostly detected in acute motor axonal neuropathy type of GBS and in Fisher syndrome (FS) and less frequently in acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) or in central nervous system (CNS) diseases.

Zika virus transmission by Brazilian Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus is virus dose and temperature-dependent.
Thaís Chouin-Carneiro,Mariana Rocha David,Fernanda de Bruycker Nogueira,Flavia Barreto dos Santos,Ricardo Lourenço-de-Oliveira +4 more
TL;DR: The ingested viral dose and incubation temperature were significant predictors of the proportion of mosquito’s biting becoming infectious and have the ability to transmit ZikV when incubated at 28°C, however Brazilian populations of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental and social determinants of population vulnerability to Zika virus emergence at the local scale
TL;DR: It is found that proximity to municipalities reporting ZIKV had an effect to reduce timing of emergence when located, on average, less than 100 km away, and the negative association with poverty suggests reduced case reporting in poorer areas.

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.

First report of autochthonous transmission of Zika virus in Brazil

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.
