Zika virus infects cells lining the blood-retinal barrier and causes chorioretinal atrophy in mouse eyes.
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an important pathogen that causes not only neurologic, but also ocular, abnormalities. Thus, it is imperative that models to study ZIKV pathogenesis in the eye are developed to identify potential targets for interventions. Here, we studied ZIKV interactions with human retinal cells and evaluated ZIKV's pathobiology in mouse eyes. We showed that cells lining the blood-retina...
متن کاملSemliki Forest virus infects mouse brain endothelial cells and causes blood-brain barrier damage.
Induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis is facilitated in a genetically resistant BALB/c mouse strain by a nonpathogenic strain of a neurotropic alphavirus, Semliki Forest virus (SFV-A7). One possible explanation for this enhancement is virus infection of endothelial cells (EC), causing increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier. We have now sought evidence for virus infecti...
متن کاملZika virus causes testicular atrophy
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that has recently been found to cause fetal infection and neonatal abnormalities, including microcephaly and neurological dysfunction. ZIKV persists in the semen months after the acute viremic phase in humans. To further understand the consequences of ZIKV persistence in males, we infected Ifnar1-/- mice via subcutaneous injection of a ...
متن کاملRetinal microangiopathy in pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy.
This report describes an atypical case of pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy, associated with focal progressive peripheral retinal microangiopathy, in a 51-year-old black female. The eyes were asymmetrically involved. Although several cases have been reported with typical features of this uncommon entity, none of them have been known to be associated with retinal microangiopathy. The oc...
متن کاملParapapillary chorioretinal atrophy in normal and glaucoma eyes. II. Correlations.
The parapapillary chorio-pigment-epithelio-retinal atrophy in glaucomatous eyes is significantly larger than in normal eyes. In a previous study its area and frequency have been measured in 582 eyes of 321 patients with chronic primary open-angle glaucoma and in 390 eyes of 231 normal subjects. In the current study the parapapillary changes were correlated with intrapapillary morphometric data ...
