A review on Zika virus outbreak, epidemiology, transmission and infection dynamics
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a newly emergent relative of the Flaviviridae family and linked to dengue
(DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIVKV). ZIKV is one of the rising pathogens promptly …

Recent African strains of Zika virus display higher transmissibility and fetal pathogenicity than Asian strains
The global emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) revealed the unprecedented ability for a mosquito-
borne virus to cause congenital birth defects. A puzzling aspect of ZIKV emergence is that all …

Enhanced Zika virus susceptibility of globally invasive Aedes aegypti populations
The drivers and patterns of zoonotic virus emergence in the human population are poorly
understood. The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major arbovirus vector native to Africa that …

Phylogenetic interpretation during outbreaks requires caution
How viruses are related, and how they have evolved and spread over time, can be
investigated using phylogenetics. Here, we set out how genomic analyses should be used …

Phylogenetic analysis of migration, differentiation, and class switching in B cells
B cells undergo rapid mutation and selection for antibody binding affinity when producing
antibodies capable of neutralizing pathogens. This evolutionary process can be intermixed …
