WHO Declares Zika Virus a Global Emergency
寨卡成全球性危機(jī)
The Zika virus, which is carried by mosquitos, is spreading through Latin America, and has become an international public health threat according to the World Health Organization. In most people, Zika symptoms are mild or non-existent. However, there is growing concern that the Zika virus is connected to microcephaly, a serious medical condition that causes babies to be born with an underdeveloped brain and a small head. American officials have warned pregnant women and those who are planning on getting pregnant to stop travelling to Brazil at this time. There is no known prevention aside from avoiding mosquito bites.
蚊蟲(chóng)傳播寨卡病毒正在拉丁美洲肆虐，據(jù)世衛(wèi)組織報(bào)道，寨卡已引發(fā)全球公共衛(wèi)生危機(jī)。對(duì)多數(shù)人講，寨卡癥狀輕微，或無(wú)癥狀。然而，因寨卡會(huì)引發(fā)“小頭癥”而關(guān)注不斷，患有小頭癥的嬰兒先天大腦發(fā)育不全，且大腦小于常人。美國(guó)有關(guān)部門(mén)警告孕婦，或準(zhǔn)備懷孕婦女在此期間禁止前往巴西。除防蚊蟲(chóng)叮咬，尚無(wú)預(yù)防措施。
