寨卡病毒(Zika virus,ZIKV)感染与出生疾病头小畸型(microcephaly)存在潜在的关联。在一项新的研究中,来自英国牛津大学和巴西Evandro Chagas研究所等机构的研究人员对巴西的寨卡病毒暴发进行首个基因组分析,从而提供关于这种病毒如何和何时可能进入美洲方面的新信息。相关研究结果于发表在2016年3月24日的《Science》上。研究人员对7株巴西寨卡病毒毒株的基因组进行测序,包括一株毒株来自一例致命的成年人病例和另一株毒株来自一
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is potentially associated with the microcephaly of the birth disorder. In a new study, researchers from institutions such as Oxford University in the UK and the Evandro Chagas Institute in Brazil conducted the first genomic analysis of the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil to provide information on how and when this virus may enter the Americas New information. Relevant research results were published in “Science” on March 24, 2016. The researchers sequenced the genomes of seven Brazilian Zika virus strains, including one from a fatal adult case and one from a strain of
