VOICED : OMS: el zika se extendera por casi todo el continente americano

The World Health Organization has warned that the Zika virus will spread across the Americas, excluding Canada and Chile. The virus, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, is already present in 21 countries. Originating from Africa, Zika first appeared in the Americas in Brazil, which has launched health campaigns to combat it. While symptoms are generally mild, the virus poses a risk to pregnant women due to potential fetal malformations. Countries like Colombia and Jamaica have advised women to delay pregnancy. A Brazilian woman, Manuela Amel, shares her experience of being pregnant during the outbreak. With the upcoming Olympics in Brazil, the mosquito has become a significant concern for authorities.
