Placenta histopathology analysis: Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of placenta labyrinth zone. (ad) Normal histologic features of the labyrinth (L), junctional zone (JZ), and decidua (D) of the placenta at E14.5 from dams inoculated with PBS (a and b) or DENV-2 (c and d). (e) The interface between the L, the JZ, and the D from a SPONV placenta with numerous intravascular thrombi (*) with apoptotic debris (A) and loss of both maternal and fetal vascular spaces. (f) Higher magnification view of L from a SPONV placenta that shows numerous vascular thrombi (*) with apoptotic debris (A) and loss of both maternal and fetal vascular spaces. (g) The interface of the L, JZ, and D from ZIKV-DAK placenta with numerous intravascular thrombi (*) with apoptotic debris and loss of both maternal and fetal vascular spaces. (h) Higher magnification view of L from a ZIKV-DAK placenta with numerous intravascular thrombi (*) with apoptotic debris and loss of both maternal and fetal vascular spaces. (i) The degree of placental pathology was rated on a scale of 0–4 based on the overall percent of vascular injury and/or loss in both the fetal and maternal vascular spaces of the labyrinth zone: 0 represents 0–5% vasculature injured and/or lost and 4 represents >50% injury/loss. Only labyrinth scores are shown because this was where pathology was primarily observed. Error bars represent 95% confidence interval from the median. Data are representative of 3–6 independent experiments for each treatment group.
