Differential Type 1 IFN Gene Expression in CD14+ Placenta Cells Elicited by Zika Virus Infection During Pregnancy
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne Flavivirus that can also be transmitted vertically from infected mother to fetus. Infection of the fetus during pregnancy can lead to congenital malformations and severely impact fetal brain development causing a myriad of diseases now labeled Congenital Zika...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arthropod-borne Flavivirus that can also be transmitted vertically from infected mother to fetus.

We have previously shown that ZIKV infection of pregnant rhesus macaques results in abnormal oxygen transport across the placenta which may promote uterine vasculitis and placental villous damage.
