Evidence of a rise of birth defects in Brazil has health experts concerned the virus is far more dangerous than people initially realized.

Dr. Lyle Petersen, head of vector-borne diseases for the CDC, told ABC News that evidence in Brazil points to a connection between Zika virus infection in pregnant women and miscarriage or birth defects of in an infant's head.

Children of women who had been infected with the virus have been born with a birth defect called microcephaly, where the baby is born with an abnormally small head and brain.

The CDC is sending two teams to Brazil to do lab training and to see if the virus can cause Guillain-Barre syndrome, a type of progressive paralysis that can appear after a viral infection, Petersen told ABC News on Thursday. They're also going to assess risk factors for developing microcephaly and see if they can determine when a fetus is most at risk for developing microcephaly.

Early analysis of these birth defects indicates that women who are infected during their first trimester could be at greater risk for giving birth to an infant with microcephaly or other birth defects, according to the Pan American Health Organization.

oga nah your on child that thing will happen to not mine or any other in this country edit that silly thing.

is it not one of the man-made viruses they are using to show that they are technologically advanced? I mean is it not like HIV, Ebola, Bird flu and others that were manufactured in the laboratory to be used as weapons of suppression of other regions of the world? Until they stop promoting such evil in the name of civilization, they will not know peace. I hope Nigeria will take proactive measures to ensure it doesn't come into our clime. Let it stay with those who created and promoted it.

God forbid, It cannot come to Nigeria.
Zika virus , they said is caused by a particular specie of mosquito bites ( mosquitoes that bite during the day or something like that)
We have been living with all species of mosquitoes in Nigeria and we don't have Zika virus.
If even by rumor it is said to be in Nigeria/Africa, it is imported and we will hold the West responsible.
