Zika virus infection of the central nervous system of mice

Abstract: SummaryIntracerebral inoculation of newborn and 5-week-old mice with Zika virus resulted in an early and marked enlargement of astroglial cells with patchy destruction of the pyriform cells of Ammon's horn. Replication of the virus was demonstrated in both neuroncs and astroglial cells. New virions appeared to be formed within networks of endoplasmic reticulum. The similarity of these ultrastructural observations to those obtained from in vivo studies of other group B arboviruses is contrasted with the widely … Show more

“…8 At the time of writing, results of testing for Zika virus are pending for this cohort. Maternal symptoms of illness were reported before or at 20 weeks gestation 1,3,8 -the period during which cell proliferation (weeks 5-20) and cell migration (weeks 6-24) occur -which is consistent with the pattern of abnormalities observed, given known timelines for brain development. Abnormalities of the infant central nervous system have been reported in maternal infections as late as 27 weeks' gestation.…”

“…Murine experiments in the early 1970s suggested Zika's neurotropism, as intracerebral inoculation of mice resulted in neuronal destruction, with viral replication observed in neurons and astrocytes [35].…”

“…L'insecte transmettra le virus par sa salive au prochain vertébré qu'il va piquer. dans un modèle murin qu'une injection intracérébrale de ZIKV induisait une atteinte neurologique [9,10]. Ainsi, dans ces expériences, Bell et al ont détecté une réplication du virus dans les neurones et les cellules gliales associée à des inclusions intracytoplasmiques et à une dégénérescence neuronale [10].…”

Ainsi, dans ces expériences, Bell et al ont détecté une réplication du virus dans les neurones et les cellules gliales associée à des inclusions intracytoplasmiques et à une dégénérescence neuronale [10]. Chez l'Homme, l'autopsie de patients infectés a révélé par RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) la présence d'ARN viral dans le cerveau de même que dans d'autres organes (foie, rate, rein, coeur), ce qui pose des interrogations quant aux sites de réplications du virus (voir plus loin) [11].…”
