The USC study, pub- lished in the journal Nature Microbiology, is the first to report that Zika targets certain white blood cells and converts those cells into immune system sup- pressors. Researchers tested Afri- can Asian Zika strains by infecting blood samples taken from men and wo- men, including some who were pregnant, and then analyzing them at peak infection. They found that Zika made a beeline for white blood cells that help fight infections. The Asian Zika strain pushed those white blood cells to transform into a different type o[ cell that tells the immune system to stand down because the threat is over, according to the study. The false signal stifles the immune system, allowing Zika to replicate. Pregnant women have higher levels o[the im- suppressing cells, researchers said, which provides an opening for the Asian Zika virus to do more damage. Previous clinical studies have found that Zika in- fection during the first and second trimesters o[ preg- nancy increases the chances o[ delivering a baby wills a birth defect or other abnormality. USC researchers found that the Asian Zika virus also is more harmful during a woman's first and second trimester.
