The race is on to stop a Zika virus epidemic in the US

One such danger is the Zika virus, and while it may not be on many people's minds just yet, it will be again, when temperatures climb. The weather is still cold in much of the United States, so many Americans have forgotten about the dangers that can accompany warm weather. In the United States more than 5,000 cases were reported between Jan. 1, 2015, and March 1, 2017. This means the offspring will never reach the stage in which they can carry and pass on the virus. One company on the front lines in the Zika war is Oxitec, a biotech company in the U.K.
