Infections from Zika virus could reach pandemic proportions if uncontrolled. possibly infecting a couple of millions especially in Americas where it has infected 23 countries. Its vector is Aedis Aegypti mosquito (did we not tell you that the animal that kills most people is the mosquito?)

Is symptoms generally includes rashes, reddening of the eyes and fever. It rarely causes death and has no known cure.
But what makes it so alarming is that it causes microencepaly in infants (small heads) and there are about 4,000 reported in Brazil. Pres Obama, CDC, and WHO have issued warning regarding Zika virus. Advisory has been issued for pregnant women not to travel in countries known to have Zika infection

How Zika virus spread from Africa (meron sa Pilipinas?)
