I'm looking for the latest information about the Zika virus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning that the Zika virus is spreading rapidly and can cause serious birth defects in babies born to women infected during pregnancy. The virus is primarily spread through mosquito bites, but it can also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. Symptoms of infection include fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and muscle or joint aches. There is no specific treatment for Zika, but people who are infected should take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
