Summary:
An exploration of Zika's origins, how it's spreading, the race for a cure, and what we can do to protect ourselves now. Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys. It was later identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and Tanzania. Outbreaks of Zika virus disease have been recorded in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. From the 1960s to 1980s, human infections were found across Africa and Asia, typically accompanied by mild illness. In October 2015 Brazil reported an association between Zika virus infection and microcephaly. Donald McNeil Jr. is a science reporter for the New York Times.
