ZIKV – CDB: A Collaborative Database to Guide Research Linking SncRNAs and ZIKA Virus Disease Symptoms
BACKGROUND In early 2015, a ZIKA Virus (ZIKV) infection outbreak was recognized in northeast Brazil, where concerns over its possible links with infant microcephaly have been discussed. Providing a causal link between ZIKV infection and birth defects is still a challenge. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression by translational re...
متن کاملمروری جامع بر عفونت ویروس زیکا
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that is becoming a new global threat. Currently, serologic (ELISA) and molecular (RT-PCR) testing make the diagnosis of Zika virus infection. There is no specific drug available for Zika virus infection, and treatment is supportive based on reducing symptoms of disease. Protection against mosquito bites is the most effective way to prevent the infection...
متن کاملمروری بر بیماری زیکا: تهدیدی تازه برای بهداشت جامعه
Introduction: Zika virus was identified in Uganda in the Zika Forest in 1947. It is a tropical disease transmitted by mosquito which is similar to Dengune virus, the western Nile virus and yellow fever. While the virus does not cause the illness in mosquitoes, feeding mosquitoes from the blood of the patients transmit virus to the healthy subjects. The prevalence of the virus was limited to Afr...
متن کاملZika virus alters the microRNA expression profile and elicits an RNAi response in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti, has recently spread globally in an unprecedented fashion, yet we have a poor understanding of host-microbe interactions in this system. To gain insights into the interplay between ZIKV and the mosquito, we sequenced the small RNA profiles in ZIKV-infected and non-infected Ae. aegypti mosquitoes at 2, 7 and 14 days post-infe...
متن کاملP-44: Investigation The Role of MicroR-NAs in Spermatogenesis and Male Infertility
Background: One of the most remarkable processes during spermatogenesis is the drastic change in gene expression. It has been recently proposed that small RNAs such as micorRNAs (miRNAs) contribute a great deal of function in regulation of the gene expression in sperm. Alterations in miRNAs function prove to be detrimental to proper spermatogenesis. As many patients suffer from idiopathic infer...
