Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is associated with congenital defects and pregnancy loss. Here, we found that 26% of nonhuman primates infected with Asian/American ZIKV in early gestation experienced fetal demise later in pregnancy despite showing few clinical signs of infection. Pregnancy loss due to asymptomatic ZIKV infection may therefore be a common but under-recognized adverse outcome related to maternal ZIKV infection.
寨卡病毒(ZIKV)感染与先天性缺陷和妊娠丢失有关。在这里,我们发现,26%的在妊娠早期感染亚洲/美洲 ZIKV 的非人类灵长类动物尽管表现出很少的感染临床症状,但在妊娠后期仍经历胎儿死亡。因此,无症状 ZIKV 感染引起的妊娠丢失可能是一种常见但未被认识到的与母体 ZIKV 感染相关的不良后果。
