Prior Asymptomatic Zika Infection Protects Against Reinfection in Pregnant Mice

Caption

In this photo, Zika virus infection kills non-human primate epithelial cells. White gaps in the image show where Zika virus has disrupted a layer of healthy cells. Researchers analyzed infection in these cells to test the infectivity of the Zika virus, and protection conferred by virus-specific neutralizing antibodies.
