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:

TL;DR: It is shown that the ZIKV NS5 protein can also boost the activity of type II interferon to induce cellular proteins that promote inflammation, mediated by the differential effect of the ZikV NS 5 protein on a pair of cellular transcription factors, STAT1 and STAT2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of Zika virus from Asia to the Americas.
TL;DR: The evolution of ZIKV during its spread from Asia to the Americas and how these changes might be linked to pathogenesis are discussed.

Potential for Zika Virus to Establish a Sylvatic Transmission Cycle in the Americas.
Benjamin M. Althouse,Nikos Vasilakis,Amadou A. Sall,Mawlouth Diallo,Scott C. Weaver,Kathryn A. Hanley +5 more
TL;DR: A sylvatic cycle of ZikV would make future elimination efforts in the Americas practically impossible, and paints a dire picture for the epidemiology of ZIKV and the ability to end the ongoing outbreak of congenital Zika syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika virus: An emergent neuropathological agent.
TL;DR: The rapid advance of the virus in the Americas and its likely association with microcephaly and Guillain–Barré syndrome make Zika an urgent public health concern.

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.
