A simple technique for infection of mosquitoes with viruses transmission of zika virus

Pakistani Healthcare Practitioners’ Understanding of the Zika Virus Disease

“…Since the ZIKV's identification it has been isolated from different species of Aedes but researchers were not been able to establish any connection between these breed and animals infected with ZIKV. In 1956 for the first time Boorman and Porterfield were able to confirm the transmission of ZIKV from Aedes ageypti ( Figure 1) to animal especially in mice and monkey [5,9,10]. First documented human ZIKV transmission case was by Simpson who occupationally acquired Zika virus in 1964 [4].…”

Zika virus in Brazil: calibration of a epidemic model for the 2016 outbreak

“…Its basis resides in the linear approximation φ(x 0 , p + h, t) ≈ φ(x 0 , p, t) + J h , where J = ∂φ/∂p is the Jacobian matrix at p, and h a small perturbation. Starting at an initial guess, the method produces a series of vectors vectors p (1) , p (2) , . .…”

“…Brazil had around N = 206 × 10 6 people by July, 2016 [7]. The 1/α v is 15 days [1]; this value agrees with statistical confidence intervals (CI) presented in other works (95% CI: 4.4-17) [6]. A systematic review of the literature [9] suggests that 95% of people infected by the Zika 3 virus who develop symptoms will do so within 11.2 days of infection (95% CI: 7.6-18.0) and will have no detectable virus in the blood by 18.9 days after infection (95% CI: 13.6-79.4).…”

Missing link: Animal models to study whether Zika causes birth defects

“…Several other researchers are also trying to model the infection in mice and in nonhuman primates, something that scientists attempted in the 1950s 14 and 1970s. A series of experiments conducted in the early 1950s by George W.A.…”
