New Zika Findings Reveal How Virus Does Its DamageIn the blood of a patient infected with Zika, researchers have found key proteins that could help them create medicines and vaccines to fight the rapidly spreading virus.A study published Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine describes two antibodies that were able to "eliminate" samples of the Zika virus when tested in laboratory dishes.When the researchers gave either of the antibodies to mice that had been deliberately infected with Zika, the animals "were completely protected against ZIKV infection," according to the study.

A first of its kind study of U.S.-born babies exposed to the Zika virus shows higher rates of birth defects for those exposed in the first trimester of pregnancy.The study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is the first time researchers have tried to estimate the likelihood of birth defects, particularly brain abnormalities and microcephaly , developing in a fetus if a pregnant woman is infected with the Zika virus.The highest rates of birth defects appeared to occur when the pregnant women had the virus in the first trimester.In 85 women who had Zika symptoms or exposure to the virus in the first trimester, 11 percent of the infants had birth defects.Overall, six percent of infants born to women in the U.S. who were exposed to the Zika virus were found to have birth defects."These data highlight the critical importance of primary prevention as recommended by the current CDC guidelines," the authors wrote Without the presence of Zika virus, microcephaly occurs in a range between two babies per 10,000 live births, or .0002 percent, and 12 babies per 10,000 live births, or .0012 percent, in the Unites States, according to the CDC.In this study of preliminary data, researchers from various public health departments and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reviewed information on pregnant women likely exposed to the Zika virus in the U.S. and all territories, except Puerto Rico, which is monitored separately.They identified 442 women, with an average age of 28, who were likely exposed to the Zika virus and who had completed pregnancies between December 2015 and September 2016.

The sooner a woman is infected with the Zika virus during her pregnancy, the more likely her baby will be damaged by the virus.One study found that 6 percent of all babies born to women infected with Zika in the United States experienced damage.Even more babies, 11 percent, had damage from women infected early in pregnancy, NBC News reports.
