PY - 2018 DA - 2018/05/03 TI - The Zika epidemic and abortion in Latin America: a scoping review JO - Global Health Research and Policy SP - 15 VL - 3 IS - 1 AB - Latin America presently has the world’s highest burden of Zika virus, but there are unexplained differences in national rates of congenital malformations collectively referred to as Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in the region. While Zika virulence and case detection likely contribute to these differences, policy-related factors, including access to abortion, may play important roles. Our goal was to assess perspectives on, and access to, abortion in Latin America in the context of the Zika epidemic.
