Physical examination and Zika-like symptoms questionnaire | All visits | Assessment of general appearance, including height and weight, and blood pressure and temperature; history of recent symptoms consistent with ZIKV infections, including rash, fever, arthralgias, eye pain, and conjunctivitis |
Pregnancy questionnaire | Monthly visits | Signs/ symptoms of pregnancy complications, including decrease in fetal movement, rupture of membranes, vaginal bleeding, headaches, scotomata, nausea, and vomiting. |
Imaging assessments | Once per trimester | Ultrasound results |
Environmental/ occupational exposure survey | Once per trimester | Participant’s and her domestic partner’s occupational history; household characteristics; behavioral risk factors (e.g. drinking, smoking); exposure to animals in the home; and exposure to known environmental chemicals |
Delivery (live birth or fetal loss) information | At delivery | Mode, location, and outcome of the delivery |

Hearing, ophthalmologic, and neurological assessments | All visits | General motor development markers, including lethargy, seizures, reflexes, etc.; hearing assessments (otoacoustic emission or automated auditory brainstem response); general eye exams; and ophthalmologic exams to detect chorioretinitis or abnormalities in conjunctiva, lens, or retina.

Imaging studies | As done per local standard of care | Any imaging assessments done for clinical care, including any neuroimaging studies (ultrasound, CT, or MRI) obtained for clinical reasons to detect neurologic abnormalities such as intracranial calcifications. |
Neurodevelopmental assessment | 3, 6, and 12- month visits | Screening neurodevelopmental assessments (Ages and Stages Questionnaire or the Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener) of all study participants. If results of screening assessment are abnormal, the infant will be referred for diagnostic neurodevelopmental testing using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID) -III. |
