Abstract
Here, Brasil et al. investigate mother to child Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission rates in a large longitudinal cohort of pregnant ZIKV-positive women with their infants followed from the time of maternal infection through birth and onwards, finding high in utero transmission rates that do not predict clinical outcomes, suggesting follow-up of children with antenatal ZIKV exposure is necessary.
