By Gaétan BurgioZika virus infection is a devastating disease for its association with neurological disorders (Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly).For the last few months Zika virus has spread at a rapid pace over the continent of South America and has now reached the US and Asia (Taiwan and Singapore).The World Health Organization declared Zika a public emergency and special funds from Brazil, Singapore and the US (after months of political battle in the US congress) have been committed to combat the infection and to contain the outbreak.
