A study conducted at the University of California has found that about half of babies affected by the Zika virus epidemic are developing normally. 1 / 5

In 2015, an outbreak of Zika in Brazil led scientists to study it more, and they found links between the virus and microcephaly. 2 / 5

They found that only 30% of the children had a below-average development, 7% had abnormal eye exams, and 12% had hearing defects. 3 / 5

Eight of the 216 children had microcephaly, but two cases were resolved over time—one naturally and one surgically. 4 / 5

However, the normal assessments now do not guarantee that there won’t be any more developmental issues further down the road. 5 / 5
