On Wednesday (20th) scientists from the Institute "Instituto Carlos Chagas" in Curitiba announced to have detected the Zika virus in the placenta of a pregnant woman for the first time. The placenta (placenta) is a tissue in the uterus.
Accordingly, the unnamed woman living in northeastern Brazil, had decided to have an abortion because of "difficulties". "We assumed an infection, have examined the tissue of the placenta and there discovered the virus. Our result clearly confirms an intrauterine transmission of Zika virus (transmission from mother to child), " says the official statement of the Institute.
