Genome Sequences of Zika Virus Strains Recovered from Amniotic Fluid, Placenta, and Fetal Brain of a Microcephaly Patient in Thailand, 2017

Wongsurawat T1, Jenjaroenpun P1, Athipanyasilp N2, Kaewnapan B2, Leelahakorn N2, Angkasekwinai N3, Kantakamalakul W2, Sutthent R2, Ussery DW1,4, Horthongkham N2, Nookaew I1,4. Abstract We present here the complete genome sequences of Zika virus strains isolated from aborted fetal tissue (brain and placenta) and amniotic fluid of a microcephaly patient in Thailand in 2017. The virus genomes that were sequenced have an average length of 10,807 […]

Suggested mechanisms for Zika virus causing microcephaly: what do the genomes tell us?

Se-Ran Jun, Trudy M. Wassenaar, Visanu Wanchai, Preecha Patumcharoenpol, Intawat Nookaew and David W. Ussery. ©  The Author(s). 2017 Published: 28 December 2017 Abstract Background Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging human pathogen. Since its arrival in the Western hemisphere, from Africa via Asia, it has become a serious threat to pregnant women, causing microcephaly and other neuropathies in developing fetuses. The mechanisms behind these teratogenic effects are unknown, although epidemiological […]
