ZIKA-VID Virology & Immunology studies

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.
