"The World Health Organization has declared the Zika virus a global public health emergency. The infection is suspected of leading to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains. Some areas have declared a state of emergency, doctors have described it as "a pandemic in progress" and some are even advising women in affected countries to delay getting pregnant. But there is much we do not know in this emerging infection."
Easy travel by people does lead to problems of containment of illnesses,West African countries will be affected,I have no doubt at all it is only a matter of time. =================================================================================================================================
"Nearly 70 years after the Zika virus was detected in Africa, experts fear it could soon make a return to the continent.
Their fear stems from a record 7,000 cases so far in Cape Verde, a volcanic Island 570 kilometres off the coast of Senegal.
100 pregnant women are among the infected. Many of them will deliver their babies this month."
