Brief description The proposal aims at identifying viral and host factors determining outcomes of infection with Zika virus, a significant mosquito-transmitted pathogen associated with debilitating neurological pathology in new-borne babies from mothers infected during pregnancy. We will use cutting edge methodologies and infections models to bring our understanding of Zika virus infection to unprecedented level. The results could also facilitate identification of targets for effective anti-viral therapy.
