Zika Virus Biology, Transmission, and Pathology: 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. Zika Virus Impact, Diagnosis, Control, and Models: The Neuroscience of Zika examines diagnosis, vaccines, and potential therapy methods for Zika virus syndrome. The book also details the neuroscience of Guillain-Barré syndrome, its effects and neuromuscular rehabilitation. It is designed to help readers better understand detection, therapies for Zika virus, preventative vaccines, diagnosis and associated microcephaly. Chapters on models enable further research and understanding. This book has applicability for neuroscientists, neurologists, virologists and anyone working to better understand the evolution and pathogenesis of Zika virus-related conditions.Zika Virus Biology, Transmission, and Pathology:- Presents the most comprehensive coverage of a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of Zika, including transmission and virus biology- Contains an abstract, key facts, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points to aid in understanding in each chapter- Features chapters on Zika vectors and fetal imaging- Includes coverage of microcephaly and developmental delays and examines Zika outbreaks in Brazil, Puerto Rico and India- Discusses unique topics in Zika biology, associated neuro-inflammation, and impacts on neurological systems Zika Virus Impact, Diagnosis, Control, and Models:- Provides a broad range of topics related to the neuroscience of Zika, including its diagnosis, vaccines and therapy- Contains chapter abstracts, key facts, a dictionary of terms and summary points to aid in understanding- Discusses novel and non-pharmacological therapies, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and vaccine development- Features chapters on rat, mouse, and guinea pig models of Zika and case reports of Zika co-infection with chikungunya, dengue-2 and Guillain-Barré- Includes coverage of microcephaly and developmental delays and examines Zika outbreaks in Brazil, Honduras, Uganda, Jamaica and Mozambique
