Adriana Melo, a Brazilian expert, discovered the link between the Zika virus and microcephaly in newborns. Despite a reduction in cases, she warns that the virus is here to stay, necessitating increased research funding to prevent mutations. The virus is underestimated globally, with sexual transmission being a significant concern. Brazil, heavily affected by the epidemic, is ideal for research due to its climate. However, wealthy countries show little interest, and no treatment or vaccine exists yet, affecting large parts of Latin America, the US, and French Polynesia.
