Video: All About Zika Virus

Zika Virus (ZIKV) is the latest virus to cross the Atlantic and infect large populations in Central and South America, especially Brazil. Over 4000 cases of Microcephaly, a birth defect, have already been reported. The World Health Organization believes up to 4 million cases and 100,000 could become affected before it’s all over (it’s been wrong before, though, as we learned during the Ebola epidemic). In any case, you’ll see a lot about it on the news, so it’s important to know about it. Learn all about Zika virus, with Joe Alton, M.D. in his latest video.
