Zika Virus-Related Syndromes
Zika Virus is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. While many people experience mild symptoms or none at all, the virus can lead to serious complications, particularly in pregnant women.
One of the most notable conditions associated with Zika is Congenital Zika Syndrome, which can cause severe birth defects, including microcephaly. Other potential complications include Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis. Awareness and prevention are crucial in controlling the spread of the virus.
