===OpenZika=== '''OpenZika''' was launched on May 18, 2016, to help combat the [[Zika virus]]. The project targets proteins that are believed to be used by the Zika virus to survive and spread in the body, based on known results from similar diseases like [[dengue fever]] and [[yellow fever]]. These results will help researchers develop an anti-Zika drug.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/zika/overview.do|title=Research: OpenZika: Project Overview|access-date=19 May 2016|archive-date=22 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160522185942/http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/zika/overview.do|url-status=live}}</ref> The project officially completed December 13, 2019.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=614|title=OpenZika's Work on World Community Grid is Complete.|access-date=2020-03-05|archive-date=2020-03-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305162802/https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=614|url-status=live}}</ref>
