ZIKA-VID aimed to assess the immunologic and virologic aspects of ZIKV infection, as well as ZIKV diagnostics by
- Evaluating diagnostics for ZIKV infection in pregnancy and childhood
- Determining the virological/immunological correlates of vertical transmission and protection, definition of the virological/immunological characteristics of congenital ZIKV/CHIKV infection and how these differ in infants with and without congenital ZIKV/CHIKV disease and among infants presenting short- term sequelae and those who do not.
- Analysisng host responses by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and discover specific signatures in human transcriptome profiling for ZIKV infection.
