The Aftermath of Zika Virus
寨卡病毒的后果
We learned about the lingering toll of this frightening epidemic.
这场可怕疫情的后果持续不断。
Late last year, the World Health Organization declared that Zika virus was no longer a global emergency. But the disease’s effects on babies who may live for decades are only beginning to be understood. In northeastern Brazil, where links between the virus and birth defects like microcephaly were first detected, families struggle to give the best lives possible to stricken babies. Researchers hope to find clues about the virus’s effects on the fetus by studying pairs of twins in Brazil in which one was born with birth defects and the other was not.
去年年末,世界卫生组织宣布,寨卡病毒不再是全球紧急公共卫生事件。然而,人们才刚刚开始认识到这种病毒对婴儿及其未来几十年生活的影响。在巴西东北部,人们首次发现了病毒与小头畸形等出生缺陷之间的联系,家庭竭力为患病婴儿提供最好的生活。研究人员希望通过研究在巴西出生的一对双胞胎,来寻找病毒对胎儿影响的线索。这对双胞胎中,一个有出生缺陷,另一个没有。
