This study shows African-lineage Zika virus can be vertically transmitted to rhesus macaque fetuses with a low dose, similar to Asian-lineage viruses.

This study shows ZIKV can transmit vertically through fetal membranes, not the placenta, in rhesus macaques.

This paper assesses gait development in infant rhesus macaques using the Noldus Catwalk system, finding that diagonal walking patterns emerge early and gait parameters show limited change over the first month.

This study shows that high-dose African-lineage Zika virus infection in late first trimester pregnant rhesus macaques causes frequent fetal loss.

This study shows that prior dengue virus immunity enhances Zika virus infection at the maternal-fetal interface in rhesus macaques but does not affect plasma replication or fetal outcomes.

This study infects pregnant rhesus macaques with African- and Asian-lineage Zika virus to compare their pathogenesis, finding similar replication kinetics but higher viral burden in maternal-fetal interface tissues with African-lineage isolates.
