Zika Virus Is Spreading; WHO Predicts 3 To 4 Million Cases by nosairabor(op): 4:11pm On Jan 28, 2016
The World Health Organization has set up a Zika "emergency team" after the "explosive" spread of the virus.

It expects three to four million cases of Zika virus disease in the Americas.

Zika was first detected in Uganda in 1947, but has never caused an outbreak on this scale. Brazil reported the first cases of Zika in South America in May 2015. Most cases result in no symptoms and it is hard to test for, but WHO officials said an estimated 1.5 million people had been infected in the country.

The virus, which is spread by mosquitoes, has since spread to more than 20 countries in the region.
