Resumo(s)
Zika virus is a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes
from the Aedes genus, sexually, or by vertical transmission.
It was discovered in 1947 in Africa and it
is thought to produce, in some cases, microcephaly in
newborns and the Guilan–Barre syndrome in adults. The otherwise low pathogenicity of the virus for
humans precluded its detailed study. Recently, outbreaks
in Pacific islands, with a virus related to Asian
strains, were followed by a large outbreak in Brazil,
which easily spread to all Latin-American countries
and Cape Verde in África. Ultrastructural information
on Zika’s effects on cells is very limited.
Also an early histopathological study signaled alterations
on other organs, which have not been further
explored. (...)
