Abstract

Zika virus infection during pregnancy can have severe consequences for fetal development and survival. A new paper in Development investigates whether sexually transmitted Zika virus could infect preimplantation embryos and dissects the impact of infection at this stage. We caught up with first author, Jennifer Watts, and corresponding author, Amy Ralston, a professor at Michigan State University, to find out more about their research.
