Table 1 Detection of ZIKV RNA in placenta and maternal, placental and fetal characteristics

From: Zika virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques causes placental dysfunction and immunopathology

  1. Individual perfusion domains (cotyledons) were dissected from primary and secondary placental lobes from ZIKV-infected RM and total RNA was prepared using the Trizol method. ZIKV RNA levels were quantified using qRT-PCR and presented in log10. Dash = not detected. Gray areas represent lack of perfusion domains. Maternal, fetal and placental weights, and the fetal:placental ratio in gestational age-matched control animals (n = 6, mean ± SD) and the ZIKV-infected animals (individually represented)
