Fascinating study suggesting that during its emergence in the Americas, ZIKV evolved to cause less immunopathology, not more, possibly enabling congenital Zika syndrome emergence in surviving neonates that would otherwise succumb. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very cool insights into colonization resistance mechanisms (in this case, Klebsiella oxytoca against K. pneumoniae after antibiotics treatment in mice) and how it is strongly modulated by diet and subsequent microbiome recovery. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check our paper. Pre-epidemic #Zika virus strains cause more CNS-damage in mouse embryos than epidemic strains. The virus may have evolved to attenuation, resulting in disease rather than premature in utero death. @Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41...
