Research Suggests Zika Could Cause Long-Term Brain Issues
It is already known that Zika can tragically affect the lives of babies born to mothers infected with the virus. Now new research suggests that the virus may affect adult brains as well. [1]
Previously, it was thought that Zika was similar to the flu virus, in that unless the infected person was pregnant, it would pass within a few days. However, research on mice suggests that this may not be the case.
