The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the main vector of several arthropod-borne diseases that have global impacts. In a previous meta-analysis, our group identified a vector gene set containing 110 genes strongly associated with infections of dengue, West Nile and yellow fever viruses. Of these 110 genes, four ...

The distribution of Aedes aegypti, the vector, is extensive. Recently, Zika and Chikungunya viruses had arise...
Zika virus (ZIKV) is widely distributed in Brazil and the Northeast Region (NE) is the most affected zone, showing the highest incidence of microcephaly associated with ZIKV congenital infections worldwide. We report attempts to infect three populations of Culex quinquefasciatus from severely affected si...

Abstract From the discovery of the Zika virus (ZIKV) in 1947 in Uganda (Africa), until its arrival in South America, it was not known that it would affect human reproductive life so severely. Today, damagetothe central nervous system is known to be multiple, and microcephaly is considered the tip of the ...
La fiebre del Zika es una enfermedad viral transmitida por mosquitos causada por el virus del mismo nombre (ZIKV), y que consiste en fiebre leve, exantemas (principalmente maculo-papular), cefalalgia, artromialgias, malestar general y conjuntivitis no purulenta que acontece entre dos a siete dÃas despuÃ...
