Scientists around the world have been long trying to design a vaccine that could help control the menace spread of the Zika virus. The efforts made have been particularly substantial after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Zika outbreak as the public health emergency in February.
Three pregnant women in the mainland United States with Zika-infected fetuses have given birth to babies with a birth defect, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). In addition, three other pregnant women have lost their babies or terminated the pregnancy because of the damage done by the virus to the brain of the fetuses.
