The Zika virus handbook

de Joseph Alton

A number of viruses have arrived from Africa and Asia in recent years, and the Zika virus is the latest. The World Health Organization has described it as "spreading explosively" and states that it expects millions of acute cases and a large number of newborns in affected areas that might be born with abnormalities. What is Zika? How does it spread and what are the symptoms? Can it be treated or prevented? What does it mean for the average American? These are questions that must be answered, and in The Zika Handbook, you'll learn everything you need to know about the virus, its proven and possible effects, and what can be done to keep a member of your family from becoming infected.
