True, but like most Viri, it has a simple RNA ; I don't believe that any of the current side effects were associated with the disease when it was first isolated in 1947.
I am wondering if it is a regionalized variant native to Brazil, or whether it is simply a naturally occurring mutant, as many of these effects have not previously been observed.

True, but with so many people from so many countries traipsing down to Brazil this summer, this variant of Zika will travel far and wide. It’s the ‘gift’ that keeps on ‘giving’. How lovely...NOT!
