• A Mouse Model of Zika Virus Pathogenesis (2016, background): “…high levels of ZIKV viral RNA were observed in CNS tissues of Ifnar1−/− mice (>106 FFU equivalents per gram in the brain and spinal cord), confirming the neurotropic potential of the virus (Bell et al., 1971; Martines et al., 2016; Mlakar et al., 2016; Sarno et al., 2016; Tang et al., 2016).”
• Zika Virus Disrupts Neural Progenitor Development and Leads to Microcephaly in Mice. (2016, background): “A causal association between ZIKV infection andmicrocephaly was proposed based on an increased incidence of microcephaly coinciding with the ZIKV outbreak and the detection of ZIKV in both microcephalic fetal brain tissues and the amniotic fluid of pregnant women with microcephalic fetuses (Calvet e”
