I've been hearing a lot of talk about the Zika virus. What should I know?

The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause serious birth defects and neurological problems in babies born to mothers who were infected while pregnant. It has also been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare condition that causes temporary paralysis. There is currently no vaccine or treatment for Zika, so prevention is key.
