WUSTL researchers report viruses such as West Nile and Zika can kill neurons in the gut, disrupting bowel movements and causing intestinal blockages.
According to researchers, three anti-influenza compounds also appear to be able to inhibit Zika virus infection.
Researchers report utilizing both ultrasound and MRI technology can help doctors to identify fetal brain abnormalities caused by maternal exposure to the Zika virus.
Researchers discover the Zika virus can persist in the eyes and have identified genetic material from the virus in tears.
Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which C10 prevents Zika infection at a cellular level.
A new study reports babies born to moms who suffered from viral infections, even mild ones, while pregnant are at increased risk of brain abnormalities.
Researchers believe new study may help improve understanding of the genetic causes of microcephaly and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Researchers report they have solved the puzzle as to how antibodies enter the nervous system to control viral infections.
A new study reports innuendo alone in news coverage may fuel the belief in conspiracy theories. Researchers say news reports that imply correlations are enough to lead people to believe incorrect or false information.
Researchers have confirmed a key way in which the Zika virus causes damage to fetal brains.
A combination of the Zika virus and Chikungunya, two mosquito-borne infections, increase stroke risk, a new study reports.
