Surveillance of Zika-related Microcephaly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia

NCT03922594 TERMINATED

This study will explore whether ZIKV is currently responsible for neurological complications, and particularly microcephaly, in Aedes-infested regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Asia. This will inform regional public health strategies, such as vaccination of women of child-bearing age. It will also demonstrate the public health impact of ZIKV infection and increase the understanding of other regional infectious (e.g. cytomegalovirus) causes of microcephaly.
