Zika infection News
The Zika flavivirus that broke out as an epidemic in Brazil in 2015 and spread to 70 countries in the world, also made an appearance in India in late May this year.
The molecular structure of the proteins involved in the Zika virus' replication process was first described only a year ago.
Researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine and ARUP Laboratories in the US found an unusually high concentration of virus in the first patient's blood as being responsible for his death.
Malaysia's health ministry on Wednesday said they have detected a new case of Zika virus in a pregnant woman living in Johor Baru, which borders Singapore.
Doctors could soon have a cure for Zika infection after a team of researchers found a way to disrupt Zika and similar viruses from spreading in the body.
The suspected link between the Zika virus and two neurological disorders, the birth defect microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome, could be confirmed within weeks, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday.
