Article Abstract
We report two cases of encephalopathy (one with seizures, one with electroencephalogram changes) in patients with Zika virus infection. The cases occurred on Martinique in February 2016, during the Zika virus outbreak. Awareness of the various neurological complications of Zika virus infection is needed for patients living in areas affected by Zika virus infections or for travellers to these areas.

Understanding why Diptera, such as mosquitoes and sand flies, feed on humans is crucial in defining them as vectors of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and leishmaniasis. Determining their attraction to humans (anthropophily) helps in assessing the risk of disease transmission, designing effective vector control strategies, and monitoring the effectiveness of existing control measures. An important question is whether they are specifically attracted to humans in preference to other mammals or whether there is something else at play.

Zika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a rising concern in global health in recent years. The role of PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint in acute ZIKV infection remains to be understood. In this study we demonstrated the activation of PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint by ZIKV.

Unlabelled: Zika virus (ZIKV) is the lone member of Flavivirus family known to cause congenital glaucoma following exposure. The molecular mechanisms of ZIKV-induced glaucoma remain elusive, with no known therapeutic modalities. Autophagy plays a dual role in viral infections and glaucoma pathogenesis.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus causing a major epidemic in the Americas in 2015. Dendritic cells (DCs) are leukocytes with key antiviral functions, but their role in ZIKV infection remains under investigation. While most studies have focused on the monocyte-derived subtype of DCs, less is known about conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), essential for the orchestration of antiviral adaptive immunity.
