Its a virus just like ebola, swine flu. Causes symptoms more or less similar. Like fever, body ache, headache, rash, eyes-burn, redness, itching, irritation, jt pains etc. But, the significance here is that if it attacks any pregnant lady, the foetus will be effected. So that there will be microcephaly{small sized head], so that the bay may or may notsurvive, & if survives also, there will be stunted growth. With delayed mile stones, other derangements.
