Study Shows How Zika Virus Passes from Mother to Fetus During Pregnancy

Study Shows How Zika Virus Passes from Mother to Fetus During Pregnancy

A new mechanism identified by researchers explains how Zika virus can pass from mothers to their children during pregnancy - a process known as vertical transmission. The study was led by a University of South Florida Health (USF Health) Morsani College of Medicine research team.
The researchers showed, for the first time, that specialized cells lining the uterus (maternal decidual cells) act as reservoirs for trimester-dependent transmission of the virus through the placenta - accounting for both the fetus's greater susceptibility to first-trimester Zika infection and for the more serious congenital defects observed in early versus late pregnancy.

A new study has identified how Zika virus (ZIKV) causes one of the most common birth defects linked to prenatal infection, called brain calcification, according to new study findings published in Nature Microbiology.
"Brain calcification has been linked to several developmental defects in infants, including motor disorders, cognitive disability, eye abnormalities, hearing deficits and seizures, so it's important to better understand the mechanisms of how they develop," said Jae Jung, PhD, director of Cleveland Clinic's Global Center for Pathogen Research & Human Health and lead author on the study. Dr. Jung, who is also chair of the Department of Cancer Biology, joined Cleveland Clinic from the University of Southern California in July.
