RECENT RESEARCH IS PROVING THAT ZIKA VIRUS,CAN CAUSE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD INFECTION.

                    According to sources,top investigators now believe that the birth defect microcephaly and the paralyzing Guillian-Barre syndrome may be just the most obvious maladies caused by the mosquito borne virus.The recent discoveries shows that it might result to serious brain and spinal cord infections including encephalitis,meningitis and myelitis in people exposed to Zika virus.Evidence that Zika's damage may be more varied and widespread than initially believed adds pressure on affected countries to control mosquitoes and prepare to provide intensive and,in some cases,lifelong care to more patients.The newly suspected disorders can cause paralysis and permanent disability a clinical outlook that adds urgency to vaccine development efforts.Scientists are of two minds about why these new maladies have come into view.The first is that,as the virus is spreading through such large populations,it is revealing aspects of Zika that went unnoticed in earlier outbreaks in remote and sparsely populated areas.The second is that the newly detected disorders are more evidence that the virus has evolved.Dr Peter Hotez,dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine said ''What we're seeing are the the consequences of this virus turning from the African strain to a pandemic strain''.The Zika outbreak was first detected in Brazil last year and is spreading through America.One more photo below.
