Going Viral.
Autor(es): Wolff, Alexander, Keith, Ted
Resumo: The article discusses the mosquito-borne Zika virus which is spreading through Brazil and other parts of the Americas less than six months before the start of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it mentions how the Zika virus will do more to bring the world together than the Olympic games. Public health emergencies and the birth defect microcephaly are examined, along with the association between the Zika virus and the autoimmune condition Guillain-Barré syndrome.
