Zika Virus Biology, Transmission, and Pathways

Zika Virus Biology, Transmission, and Pathways: The Neuroscience of Zika provides a detailed introduction to the molecular biology of the Zika virus and its features, transmission, and impact on neurological systems. Designed to better readers’ understanding of the Zika virus, this volume features chapters on the immune response, molecular mechanisms, and other areas to better understand underlying pathways. This book has applicability for neuroscientists, neurologists, virologists, and anyone working to better understand the evolution and pathogenesis of Zika virus-related conditions. The most comprehensive coverage of a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of zika, including transmission and virus biologyContains in each chapter an abstract, key facts, mini dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understandingFeatures chapters on Zika vectors and fetal imagingIncludes coverage of microcephaly and developmental delays and examines Zika outbreaks in Brazil, Puerto Rico, and IndiaDiscusses unique topics in zika biology and associated neuro-inflammation and impact on neurological systems
