Zica Virus

A new study has found genetic fragments of Zika in the eyes and the tears of laboratory mice infected with the virus, a finding that offers a potential new route of human infection.

Tata Motors is considering changing the name of its new Zica hatchback as global panic mounts over an outbreak of the identical-sounding Zika virus, the company said today.

Tropical Southeast Asian countries said on Friday they were bracing for the mosquito-borne Zika virus, with Malaysia saying it could "spread quickly" if introduced, but Thailand appeared to be bucking the trend with just a handful of cases a year.
