A promising step toward controlling Zika virus and dengue fever
"This is a chance to have a positive effect on a lot of the world's population," said senior author David Eisenberg, UCLA's Paul D. Boyer Professor of Molecular Biology.Five UCLA researchers were part of an international team that has used X-rays to reveal the structure of a molecule that is toxic to disease-carrying mosquitoes.The findings move the scientific world one step closer to genetically engineering a toxin that would be lethal to species that carry dengue fever and the Zika virus.

Palm Beach Gardens isn't letting up in its fight to prevent the Zika virus from spreading farther north.The city is doing an additional spraying of the pesticide Duet to kill daytime and night-flying mosquitoes that could be carrying the virus.Zika can cause microcephaly, a birth defect that causes developmental delays and seizures, in children and a fever and rash in adults.

TSRI scientists elucidate how Zika virus attacks the brains of newborns
In a study that could one day help eliminate the tragic birth defects caused by Zika virus, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have elucidated how the virus attacks the brains of newborns, information that could accelerate the development of treatments.The study, led by TSRI Associate Professors Hyeryun Choe and Damon Page, was published recently in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.In the new study, the scientists observed the virus's effects in animal models at two different points -- during early postnatal development, when the brain is growing rapidly, and at weaning, when the brain has largely reached adult size.
