Produktbeschreibung
The Zika Virus transitioned from a rare and relatively mild tropical illness to a full-blown global health crisis in the span of approximately one year. Now active in more than 60 countries, Zika is an epidemic unlike any in history: a virus spread by both mosquitos and sex, and one whose most significant effect -- congenital birth defects -- might not be revealed until months after infection.
Zika: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers both a summary of the virus' history to date and an expert overview of what's known -- and unknown -- about its medical impacts. Written in clear language and in a highly navigable question-and-answer format, this book offers expert answers to the most common and difficult questions surrounding this new global threat:
· Where did Zika come from?
· Where is Zika likely to migrate geographically?
· What are the risks associated with travel and sex in Zika-affected areas?
· Does Zika cause birth defects in all pregnant hosts?
· Do some people's medical histories make them more susceptible to Zika?
· How long after infection is conception safe?
· Is a Zika vaccine likely?
