Scientists say a study involving pregnant women in Brazil “strengthens” the theory that Zika is linked to microcephaly birth defects in babies.
The research confirmed the presence of Zika virus in the amniotic fluid of two women who had Zika-like symptoms during their pregnancies.
According to BBC News, Brazilian experts say this suggests the virus can infect the foetus. But World Health Organization experts caution the link is not proven and expect to release more information in the next few weeks.
