| Description | Zika virus is an emerging disease that is spread by Aedes mosquitoes. The virus was first isolated in Central Africa, and has since spread to South Asia and more recently to South America. It is a member of the flavivirus family, and is structurally closely related to viruses such as Dengue Fever Virus. Outbreaks were reported in Micronesia in 2007 and in Brazil in 2015, confirming at least 13 autochthonous infections. The Zika virus outbreak in Brazil in 2016 has gained world-wide attention, and has been linked to an increasing number of microcephaly cases. In April 2016 the Centers for Disease Control, in the USA, confirmed the link between Zika virus infection of the fetus with microcephaly. Clinically Zika virus can cause mild fever, rash, myalgia, arthralgia and headaches, with one in four infected individuals being asymptomatic. Due to similar symptoms Zika virus infected individuals can easily be mis-diagnosed as a dengue infection and vice-versa. In addition, Zika virus has been implicated in causing microcephaly through transmission in utero. There is no vaccine or specific treatment available for Zika virus. Analysis of Zika virus sequences from infected patients have shown that the strain circulating in South America in 2015 is most closely related to the strains circulating in Asia during outbreaks in 2007 and 2013-14. The South American strain was first isolated and sequenced from a patient in Suriname, and hence is known as the Zika Suriname strain. The Zika virus NS1 protein in the Suriname strain differs slightly from that in the “original” strain isolated in Uganda in 1947. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to Zika Virus NS1, Suriname strain, fused to His-tag at C-terminal expressed in 293 human cells. Strain: Suriname Z1106033 Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. | ||
