Zika virus may persist in the vagina days after infection
The Zika virus reproduces in the vaginal tissue of pregnant mice several days after infection, according to a study by Yale researchers.From the genitals, the virus spreads and infects the fetal brain, impairing fetal development.The findings suggest that the Zika virus may replicate more robustly in the female reproductive tract than at other sites of infection, with potentially dire consequences for reproduction, said the researchers.

New report documents fetal brain abnormalities linked to congenital Zika infection
In a special report released August 23 in the journal Radiology, a team of researchers including Deborah Levine, MD, Director of Obstetric & Gynecologic ultrasound at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School (HMS), documented the brain abnormalities associated with congenital Zika in 45 confirmed and presumed cases from northeastern Brazil.Today, more than 50 countries and territories report the active transmission of Zika virus, a mosquito-borne illness linked to microcephaly in babies born to infected mothers.The current Zika outbreak began more than a year ago in Brazil, where there have been more than 8,300 reports of microcephaly.
