Scientists discover structure of immature Zika virus

Researchers have determined the high-resolution structure of immature Zika virus, which they have said is a step towards better understanding how the virus infects host cells and spreads.The scientists at Purdue University, Indiana, US, explained that Zika belongs to a family of viruses called flaviviruses.This includes dengue, West Nile and yellow fever as well as Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitic viruses.According to the researchers, although only the mature forms of flaviviruses are considered infectious, the virus population secreted from host cells is a mixture of mature, partially mature and immature virus particles.Professor Michael Rossmann, Purdue's Hanley Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences, said: "It is, therefore, probable that the immature form of Zika also plays a role in virus infection and spread."The research team was led by Prof Rossmann and Prof Richard Kuhn, director, Purdue Institute for Inflammation, Immunology and Infectious Disease.Prof Kuhn said: "I think these findings open the door to begin to explore the assembly process of the virus."We see clear differences between the structure of the immature virus and the mature virus.
