Zika warnings boost

March 14, 2016

THE World Health Organization (WHO) has strengthened its advice to pregnant women, urging them not to travel to areas where the Zika virus is circulating. The warning highlight was issued in the light of stronger evidence of an association between the virus and fetal malformations, said WHO. The virus has now been detected in amniotic fluid and has been shown to cross the placental barrier and infect the fetus as well as being detected in the blood, brain tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid of fetuses after any termination of pregnancy. Local transmission has been reported in 31 countries in Latin America, esp the Caribbean, Brazil, French Polynesia and Colombia.
