A new study from Brazil is helping to strengthen the suspected link between the flu-like virus Zika, and the strong upswing in birth defects.
巴西的一項新的研究有助于加強類流感寨卡病毒與出生缺陷上升的可疑關聯。
In a study of 88 women in Rio de Janeiro, the study found that the 42 women who had contracted Zika virus, 12 had the birth defect microcephaly present at birth.
在里約熱內盧對88名婦女進行研究,發現42名感染寨卡病毒的婦女,12名初生兒患小頭畸形缺陷。
The birth defect kills a type of brain cell that is critical to developing infant brains.
出生缺陷消滅一種腦細胞,對發育嬰兒的大腦至關重要。
And the long-term effects of this particular birth defect are still being studied.
特殊出生缺陷的長期影響仍在研究中。
So, even though actually contracting the virus had very few severe symptoms, pregnant women have dangerous outcomes from the Zika virus.
所以,即使感染病毒有極少嚴重癥狀,寨卡病毒會給孕婦帶來危險的結果。
