    • Abstract:
      The article looks at the sharp increase in the number of babies born with microcephaly in Brazil, which it says may be associated with pregnant women being infected with the mosquito-borne virus Zika, and at related public health efforts and policies in the country. The possible role of climate change in changing the geographic range of Zika is cited.
