Title of Collaborative Activity:

Bridging Knowledge Gaps to Understand How Zika virus (ZIKV) Exposure and Infection Affect Child Development Workshop

ZIKV is a growing, global epidemic. ZIKV has been associated with numerous birth and developmental defects, such as microcephaly, and other pregnancy and birth-related problems, including miscarriages, stillbirths, and other in utero complications. Because of these health issues, it is imperative that the scientific community understand the effects of ZIKV on pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this workshop is to identify optimal approaches for treating and caring for the generation of children exposed to ZIKV in the womb.
