Zika Fever: What is it?
#2
As per govt of New Zealand: Cases of Zika virus have previously been reported in Africa, southern Asia and the Pacific Islands. Beginning in 2014, Zika virus outbreaks have occurred throughout the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the western hemisphere, as far north as Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Zika infection usually presents as an influenza-like syndrome, often mistaken for other arboviral infections like dengue or chikungunya.

There are also significant concerns over affect of Zika virus on pregnant women, as to whether they can transmit the disease to their unborn babies, with potentially serious consequences. Reports from several countries, most notably Brazil, demonstrate an increase in severe foetal birth defects and poor pregnancy outcomes in babies whose mothers were infected with Zika virus while pregnant.
