In a collaborative effort with scientists at six Colombian hospitals, Johns Hopkins researchers report what they believe to be the strongest biological evidence to date linking Zika virus infection and Guillain-Barré syndrome.Epidemiology data have long suggested a close relationship between rising Zika virus infection rates and instances of Guillain-Barré.The new study's results, published online today in The New England Journal of Medicine, support the correlation with immunologic and viral evidence of Zika infection in a substantial number of people with Guillain-Barré, the investigators say.

In a new report involving the nation's first reported Zika-related fatality, as well as a subsequent case in a relative of the deceased patient, researchers suggest that the virus may be transmitted through tears or perspiration.Researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine and the university's nonprofit enterprise ARUP Laboratories suggest that Zika virus may be transmitted through tears or perspiration, as appears to have been the case in a recent report of transmission between a severely ill hospitalized man and his son.In other recent developments, the CDC has updated its interim guidance on preventing sexual transmission of the virus, along with its interim response plan.
