Guess who owns the patent for ZIKA?—Rockefeller Foundation

We’ve known about Zika virus since at least 1947, when researchers from the Rockefeller Foundation put a rhesus monkey in a cage in the middle of Zika Forest of Uganda. The team was conducting surveillance for yellow fever. But “Rhesus 766” would ultimately become the first known carrier of Zika virus.

Why and How Did Zika Turn into Such a Fearsome Virus?

“This virus has been in Asia for at least 15 years,” Petersen said, without causing microcephaly or other birth anomalies.

But one of the most promising areas of research has to do with other flaviviruses that are Zika’s first cousins: Dengue and Chikungunya.

Helen Lazear PhD, of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine’s microbiology and immunology is among those who believe there could be an important clue to the mystery of Zika’s virulence in what happens to people who have had dengue or perhaps other flaviviruses, and then get Zika.

Since dengue is endemic in most of the same areas that are now seeing serious neurological damage associated with Zika, she and colleagues are studying antigenic cross reactivity in Zika and dengue.

“Dengue may open up an extra entryway, leading to more severe disease” as well as allowing Zika to infect neurologic tissues—notably the developing neurons in a fetus and the cells that repair and regenerate damaged neurons in adults.

That could play a role in why Zika is transmitted sexually and congenitally, “something mostly unheard of in other flaviviruses,” she said.

The research is just beginning, she said, but looks promising.
