ANSWER: Zika
WHO has announced the massive spread of the Zika cruise in the Americas as an event that merits being an international emergency. The agency convened an emergency meeting of independent experts to assess the outbreak after noting a suspicious link between Zika’s arrival in Brazil last year and a surge in the number of babies born with abnormally small heads. WHO estimates there could be up to 4 million cases of Zika in the Americas in the next year.
