Breaking the “unbreakable” ZIKA virus envelope

2018-06-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The rapid spread of zika virus (ZIKV) and its association with microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome have raised major concerns worldwide. Studies have shown that ZIKV can survive in harsh conditions, e.g. high fever; in sharp contrast to the dengue virus (DENV) of same Flaviviridae family. In spite of recent cryo-EM structures that showed similar architecture of the ZIKV and DENV envelopes,...
