Likely biological link found between Zika virus, microcephaly
2016-03-05 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Working with lab-grown human stem cells, a team of researchers suspect they have discovered how the Zika virus probably causes microcephaly in fetuses. The virus selectively infects cells that form the brain's cortex, or outer layer, making them more likely to die and less likely to divide normally and make new brain cells. The researchers say their experiments also suggest these highly-susceptible lab-grown cells could be used to screen for drugs that protect the cells or ease existing infections....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late last week confirmed a second Zika case in New Jersey involving a Hudson County woman who traveled to Honduras, according to health officials. There is, however, no public health risk because the woman was exposed to mosquitoes in Honduras.
New Virus Transmission Route Discovered in Pigs
2016-03-01 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
SWITZERLAND - Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus causes serious inflammation of the brain in people and fertility problems in pigs. Mosquitoes were previously the only known transmission route. However, the virus can also be spread from pig to pig by direct contact, and this could enable it to circulate in pigs during the mosquito-free winter season.
