STORYLINE:
Brazilian officials have doubled their efforts to contain the spread of the Zika virus, which has been declared an international emergency and which scientists also suspect is causing a spike in birth defects in babies.
On Tuesday, army soldiers and health workers in Recife, the center of the epidemic, checked houses for stagnant water where the disease spreading mosquitoes breed.
Zika is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, that also transmits Dengue fever and Chikungunya.
It can breed in even a bottle cap's-worth of stagnant water.
The Brazilian government has promised to deploy some 220,000 members of the Armed Forces to help eliminate the Aedes' breeding places as part of President Dilma Rousseff's declared war against the insect.
The connection between Zika and microcephaly, a rare birth defect, is not yet understood, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there is strong evidence of a link.
Brazil has has more than 3,700 confirmed or suspected cases of microcephaly registered here since October compared with fewer than 150 cases in all of 2014.
