Not just brazil. With a high enough infection rate you could have a time bomb for a fragile economy.

You should be more worried as its been detected in Cape Verde which is much closer and a holiday hot spot.

It's transmuted my mosquitos , like malaria .

Currently in the Americas; it could spread anywhere; but places with less mosquitos will naturally be less vulnerable ; so it could spread on Aftica, for instance, but probably would not be virulent in the northern parts of Europe...

The link to microcephalis in babies looks quite plausible, but has not been completely proven yet.

Perhaps you should check your facts a bit more and look on the health office website a up to date report came out today with a list of countries affected it's no longer just the Americas.

In Brazil they are currently releasing genetically modified mosquitos the idea behind this means if the male mates with a female who carried the virus and the off Spring will not live into adult hood this stopping the spread. But it will take months for this to happen.

Also Europe now a at risk due to the climate change and it being much warmer than previously.

Women who are pregnant are being advised to avoid the countries affected so there obviously is major concern that it's strongly linked to microcephaly. In Brazil 3100 cases with 38 deaths second highest statistics are in Venezuela.

5 British citizens have been tested and confirmed and all travelled to one of the countries affected.
