Treatment Protects Mice From Zika During Pregnancy: US Study
A new study of the Zika virus in mice raises hope for a way to protect pregnant women and their babies from the possible repercussions of being infected, US researchers said on Monday.

Zika Causes Infertility, Lasting Harm To Testes In Mice: US Study
A study of mice infected with Zika showed the virus caused lasting damage to key cells in the male reproductive system, resulting in shrunken testicles, lower levels of sex hormones and reduced fertility, US researchers said on Monday.
-
Two Experimental Zika Vaccines Show Promise In Monkey Studies
A pair of experimental vaccines being developed by the US National Institutes of Health protected monkeys against Zika virus infection after two doses, researchers said Thursday.

Zika Could Live In Eyes, Spread Through Tears: Study
The Zika virus can live in eyes, researchers said on Tuesday, after conducting experiments on mice that may explain why some patients develop ocular disease and in some cases become blind.
-
Adult Mosquitoes Can Pass Zika To Their Offspring: Study
Adult female mosquitoes can pass the Zika virus along to their offspring, US researchers said on Monday, a finding that makes clear the need for pesticide programs that kill both adult mosquitoes and their eggs.

Zika Epidemic Should Fizzle Out Within 3 Years: Study
The outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus, blamed for a surge in birth defects, has likely reached its peak in Latin America and the epidemic should be over within three years, researchers said on Thursday.
-
US, Brazilian Researchers Launch Massive Zika Study
US researchers announced plans Tuesday to conduct a vast study on health risks faced by pregnant women in areas where Zika virus is prevalent, particularly in Latin America.
-
Bacteria Blocks Mosquitoes From Transmitting Zika: Study
Infecting mosquitoes with a strain of bacteria known as Wolbachia significantly reduced their ability to transmit the Zika virus, Brazilian researchers said on Wednesday, raising hope for this biological method of blocking transmission of the deadly virus.
-
US Study May Point The Way On How To Beat The Zika Virus
A molecular map of Zika has revealed important structural differences on a key protein of the virus that may explain why the pathogen attacks nerve cells while other viruses in the same family do not, US researchers said on Thursday.
