The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently
sounded an alarm. There was a completely uncommon birth defect
identified, which was caused by a rare virus being spread by mosquitoes
last January, warning women in America and raising awareness in a
worldwide spectrum not to get pregnant if they are or have been in
certain countries in South America.
The said virus causing an alarm was named Zika, and it is maintaining
its momentum of breaking into multiple territories as we speak.
