The ZIPER study will help inform the
presence and duration of ZIKV shedding in several body fluids among
RT-PCR-positive ZIKV cases from Puerto Rico. It will also provide
information regarding the duration of detection of anti-ZIKV IgM
antibodies and the time for development of IgG antibodies among the
same population. In addition, this study will determine the
prevalence of anti-ZIKV, IgM and IgG, and virus shedding in body
fluids among household contacts of ZIKV cases. This Revision ICR is
being submitted to allow information collection activities to
continue with the addition of, 1) a follow-up household visit to
determine how many household members of Zika virus-infected
participants become infected during the 4 months following initial
screening, and 2) a follow-up with men with Zika virus-positive
semen specimens to better understand the effect of Zika virus
infection on sperm.
