Zika Virus-Infected Monocyte Exosomes Mediate Cell-to-Cell Viral Transmission
12 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Zika fever is a reemerging arthropod-borne viral disease; however, Zika virus (ZIKV) can be transmitted by other, non-vector means. Severe Zika fever is characterized by neurological disorders, autoimmunity, or congenital Zika syndrome.
