Spondweni virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques causes placental pathology without apparent fetal harm

This study infects pregnant rhesus macaques with Spondweni virus and finds placental pathology without fetal harm, contrasting with ZIKV-DAK-induced fetal demise.

Prenatal Zika Virus Exposure Disrupts Social-Emotional Development and Cortical Visual Function in Infant Macaques

This study shows that prenatal Zika virus exposure in macaques disrupts social-emotional development and visual function, independent of viral factors or maternal immunity.

A Zika Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Mitigates Early Pregnancy Loss In Rhesus Macaques

This study evaluates a Zika virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine in rhesus macaques, showing it reduces early pregnancy loss caused by a highly pathogenic ZIKV strain.

Mpox virus (MPXV) vertical transmission and fetal demise in a pregnant rhesus macaque model

This study infects pregnant rhesus macaques with clade IIb Mpox virus and finds vertical transmission to the fetus and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Wolbachia-mediated resistance to Zika virus infection in Aedes aegypti is dominated by diverse transcriptional regulation and weak evolutionary pressures

This study investigates Wolbachia's effect on ZIKV infection in Ae. aegypti using transcriptomics and viral sequencing, finding no clear transcriptional profile or evidence of ZIKV escape.
