Zika Virus Persists in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Resulting in Moderate Cytopathic Effects but Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition

2026-02-02

Abstract excerpt

The Zika virus (ZIKV), a pathogenic member of the orthoflavivirus family, is raising serious health concerns worldwide. Like Dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses, it is one of the arboviruses that poses an emerging threat to areas where its main vectors, Aedes mosquitoes, proliferate, well beyond tropical and subtropical regions. Although often asymptomatic or mild, ZIKV infection has been responsible for...
