ABSTRACT

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a Flavivirus that has become important because of the neurological alterations that it can cause in fetuses. The ZIKV mainly affects the radial glial cells, generating death and lack of cell proliferation, which lead to microcephaly of the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy. The objective of this work is to describe the known mechanisms through which ZIKV produces abnormalities of the fetal nervous system.
