    • Abstract:
      The article discusses response to the spread of the Zika Virus epidemic in Puerto Rico. Topics include the failure of residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites, the resignation of the governor's special adviser on Zika due to conflict between federal and local health officials, and an increase in pregnant women testing positive for Zika with chances of their babies being born with microcephaly, despite a decline in Puerto Rico's pregnancy rate for 2016.
