UNTIL three years ago, a forest in Uganda called Zika was largely unknown. Even the indigenous people of Uganda were confused when asked about the forest's location. However, today the name is widely mentioned due to the spread of the Zika virus.
In fact, the virus emerged 69 years ago. Now, long after being seemingly forgotten, the virus is back in the spotlight, having spread to 23 countries in Latin America and possibly, the United States. Zika is increasingly believed to pose a serious threat, as it targets newborns and causes paralysis. In 2015, 1,248 such cases were reported in Brazil.
