چکیده
Symbiosis Group Figure 1: Three different mechanisms of ADE (Antibody-dependent enhancement): A-receptors on virus particles bound by cross-reactive antibody get conformational change in structure that results in high affinity with the corresponding receptor on the host cell membrane. The corresponding receptor was not able to recognize the viral receptor before this conformational change. BThe cross-reactive antibody binds to viral and host cell membrane receptors at the same time bringing the viral particle near to the host cell. CThe Fc component of the cross-reactive antibody is recognized by the corresponding receptor on host cell membrane being the predominant mechanism of ADE phenomenon. Transmission

Zika Virus: Immunity and Vaccine Development
The emergence of Zika virus in the Americas and Caribbean created an urgent need for vaccines to reduce transmission and prevent disease, particularly the devastating neurodevelopmental defects that occur in utero. Rapid advances in Zika immunity and the development of vaccine candidates provide cautious optimism that preventive measures are possible.
متن کاملمروری بر ویروسِ زیکا، آربو ویروسِ بازپدید: مقاله مروری
Before the recent outbreaks of Zika virus, few people have ever heard of its name. Even virologists had paid little attention to this member of the Flaviviridae family. Hence, up to January 2016, only 269 articles about Zika virus had been indexed in PubMed compared to the 9187 articles related to dengue virus. However, declaration of the World health organization (WHO) about the global Zika vi...
متن کاملAdvances in Zika Virus: Searching for the Missing Link
The Zika virus (ZIKAV) is an emerging arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family with two main lineages; the African and the Asian lineages. It is an enveloped single stranded positive sense RNA virus of approximately 11kb. Scientists recently linked ZIKAV with a rare birth defect microcephaly characterized by small head and brain development and abnormalities. The brain damage in Zika babies is wors...
متن کاملZika: what we know and don't know
Since the initial reports of a link between Zika and microcephaly, researchers across the world began working toward understanding the virus. In a short amount of time, Zika has become a household name, prompting worldwide concern. The virus is spread rapidly by mosquito bites. We currently do not have a vaccine for Zika. But with the recent findings, vaccine companies are mobilizing their reso...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology Provides a Toehold in the Fight against Zika.
The World Health Organization has identified the development of a rapid point-of-care diagnostic test for Zika virus as a top research priority. In a recent Cell paper, Pardee et al. (2016) have exploited recent advances in synthetic biology and molecular engineering to deliver a sensitive, affordable, and field-ready Zika test.
متن کاملConsiderations for the development of Zika virus vaccines.
The current Zika virus outbreak has galvanized the public health community, resulting in calls for rapid action from entities including the World Health Organization and the United States government. The response to Zika virus is perhaps the first of its kind, and it has been influenced by the lessons learned from the response to the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak inWest Africa. However, Zika virus ...
