monkey placed in Zika forest of
Uganda; named Zika virus (ZIKV).
•1948 –Zika virus recovered from
Aedes africanus mosquito caught in
Zika forest.

Congenital Zika Syndrome
Distinct pattern of congenital anomalies and problems
unique to fetuses and infants infected with Zika virus
before birth -five main features:
1.Severe microcephaly in which skull has partially
collapsed
2.Decreased brain tissue with a specific pattern of brain
damage, including subcortical calcifications
3.Damage to the back of the eye, including macular
scarring and focal pigmentary retinal mottling
4.Congenital contractures, such as clubfoot or
arthrogryposis
5.Hypertonia restricting body movement soon after
birth

Who to Test?Collect tests within first 2 days of life:
1)Infants born to mothers with
laboratory evidence of possible
Zika virus infection during
pregnancy
2)Infants with clinical findings
suggestive of congenital Zika
syndrome and possible maternal
Zika virus exposure during
pregnancy, regardless of maternal
