A global concern due to its association with congenital anomalies, such as microcephaly, in affected pregnancies. The Zika Virus has rapidly spread, leading to a coordinated global response to address this public health emergency, highlighting the importance of understanding the effects of the Zika virus on pregnancies to guide effective public health policies and clinical practices. Objective: To investigate the relationship between the Zika virus and its consequences on pregnant women and developing fetuses, aiming to comprehend the impacts of virus infection during pregnancy. Method: This current study constitutes an exploratory and qualitative literature review conducted in March 2024. Secondary research sources available in accessible databases for full reading were used. The research was conducted through the analysis of books, articles, and protocols available on electronic platforms such as Google Scholar, Scielo, and PubMed, covering the period from 2019 to 2024. Results: The study elucidates the severity of the impacts of the Zika virus on pregnancies, highlighting the relationship between maternal infection with the virus and the appearance of congenital anomalies in newborns. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with Zika virus infection during pregnancy is crucial to guide effective public health policies and clinical practices, aiming to protect the health and well-being of pregnant women and their babies, to mitigate the adverse impacts of the Zika virus on future generations.
