The researchers at Washington University (St. Louis USA) have discovered Zika virus can live in the eyes and the virus can be spread through tears. This research helps scientists explain why some patients develop Zika left eye diseases including uveitis condition is a disease that can lead to permanent vision loss. GS. Michael Diamond, Washington University - St. Louis, one of the study's authors said: "Our research shows that the eyes can be a reservoir Zika virus,".
The scientists have conducted Zika virus subcutaneously injected mice mature, similar to the way humans are infected by mosquitoes and found live virus in the eye Zika 7 days later. That means Zika can go to the eye, but now scientists have not found the Zika virus can move data to the eye in the retina central artery bypass blood vessels, along nerves visual connection between the brain and eyes, or they go through a number of other roads in the eye.
Zika virus causes mild illness in most adults but can cause brain damage and death in the fetus. Approximately 1/3 of infants infected in utero Zika virus are at risk for eye disease, such as inflammation of the optic nerve, retinal damage or blindness after birth.
In adults, can cause inflammation Zika conjunctivitis - red and itchy eyes - and in a few rare cases of patients with uveitis expression.
