The ongoing spread of the Zika virus — and its unconfirmed potential links to a birth defect called microcephaly — have raised worldwide alarms. This Forum examined what we know and don’t know about the virus, drawing parallels and lessons from another disease outbreak, Ebola, that we can apply to the Zika emergency. An expert panel discussed the current status of our understanding of the Zika virus and its health effects; containment strategies.
Presented March 4, 2016 in Collaboration with Reuters.
