ZIKAlliance is a multinational, multi-disciplinary research consortium comprised of 54 partners worldwide. It investigates clinical, fundamental, environmental and social aspects of ZIKV infection, in particular the impact of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy (including short and medium term effects on newborns). The objectives are (i) to improve the scientific knowledge about ZIKV natural history, mechanisms of infection, immune response, diagnostic methods, potential antiviral treatments and societal impact and (ii) to build preparedness capacity for future epidemic threats in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Scientific coordinator of the project: Xavier De Lamballerie
