So delighted to see this published @DialoguesHealth - initial findings from our @zikaction registry in #Brazil on #children growing up with congenital #zika syndrome led by @Isadora86397181 @Penta_ID @UCLchildhealth @FiocruzBahia @ich_ppp https://t.co/qdDM0FX3wj

It’s out! Our pilot study showing the feasibility of the ZIKApp for reporting arbovirus symptoms by pregnant women in Jamaica @zikaction @UWImona @Penta_ID @P_Bruijning @UCLchildhealth @ich_ppp @jmirpub https://t.co/KjJFbsx3wr

Check out our new publication on the ZIKApp study!

We aimed to evaluate the use of an app by pregnant women in Jamaica to self-report arbovirus symptoms & pregnancy complications & assess compliance with daily symptom diaries

In only 5 years, we made progress in understanding how #ZIKV behaves & are a closer to finding new #treatments & #vaccines.

Breno L de Almeida will be giving an oral presentation on the ZIKAction paediatric registry at 10:20am in the Viral infections, diagnosis and treatment session at #WSPID2022.

Will you be joining us?

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

Each child is different & the way they can be affected by #viruses is also different #ZIKAction studied how a child’s genome alters the way Zika #virus affects childhood development. Results from these studies to be published soon. Watch our project video https://t.co/k2fqffbWMp

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

We established the international Paediatric Registry, to characterize the features of #children antenatally exposed to #ZIKV &/or presenting with suspected Congenital Zika Syndrome, & including longitudinal data to assess longer-term sequelae & management

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

We piloted an mhealth intervention for monitoring arbovirus symptoms in pregnancy, supporting its future development to contribute to surveillance & diagnosis of #infections in pregnancy & potential use by clinical teams to optimise #maternal care https://t.co/VI621gwsYI #H2020

Our researchers collected a lot of information on #ZIKV & how its transmitted in #pregnancy, & the consequences for babies. Read this summary on the Spanish paediatric cohort to learn more: https://t.co/KYAQbUcWc0

We set out to develop a multinational ready-to-act network capable of rapidly addressing maternal & paediatric health research needs due to ZIKV outbreaks. Watch our video to learn how we studied key knowledge gaps on ZIKV in maternal & child health https://t.co/k2fqffbWMp #H2020

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

Interdisciplinary #research conducted in #ZIKAction resulted in new evidence being generated a greater understanding of arboviral infections in #pregnancy & childhood & a strengthened capacity for conducting preparedness research against emerging pathogens https://t.co/BAunLmWTpy

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

Evidence exists to infer causal relationship between prenatal #ZIKV infection & severe brain anomalies little is known on the natural history of ZIKV infection in #pregnancy & childhood & medium & long term sequelae of exposure in utero. Stay tuned for results from our VT studies

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

Results from the ZIKApp study are out!

ZIKApp was a one year pilot study carried out in Jamaica to monitor #arbovirus symptoms in pregnant women & to develop methods for investigating outcomes of maternal #ZIKV infection

This world international day of #epidemicpreparedness we highlight the importance of capacitating countries so they can prevent, detect & quickly respond to emerging outbreaks.

Watch our video to learn how we & our collaborators tried to achieve this: https://t.co/k2fqffbWMp

[ZIKAction @zikaction]

In 2017 the #ZIKAction consortium contributed to the creation of @ResearchCapREDe a regional research network to enable research teams to respond to emerging infectious diseases

#Zika virus spreads through infected mosquito bites. If a pregnant woman is infected her baby is at risk of #CongenitalZikaSyndrome. Researchers collected data on how zika is transmitted in pregnancy & the effects on babies.
