The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) still places a travel alert for areas the where mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus could transmit it to people.
The experts warn that the danger of the outbreak would be critical if the virus begins to spread by the same mosquito that transmits Zika virus. The Brazil Yellow Fever Outbreak has been ongoing since December 2016.
Scientists from the National Institutes of Health are in the process of formulating a promising vaccine against this mosquito born infection.
Preparation to invent new vaccines for Ebola and Zika gets the momentum as big drug makers taking initiatives to avert pandemics.
Zika virus infection is dangerous to fetal development and only the Zika outbreak in Brazil made it to be noticed as health emergency.
First case of Zika infection is confirmed in Travis County where a new-born child has clear signs of microcephaly. The child's mother was in Central America during her pregnancy in 2016, August and the symptoms of the child show that he has been attacked by the virus in the early stages of development.
A recent study by scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) has identified seven key proteins in the Zika virus that may be the major cause of the damage in Zika virus.
There are about 20 countries in total that have been affected by the Zika virus outbreak in the Latin American region and health experts say that the list could only grow longer.
