Simple Zika virus mutation could evade immunity and spark new dangerous outbreak, scientists warn

[Sherman A1]

A single mutation in the mosquito-borne Zika virus could spark another major outbreak of the disease in humans, scientists have warned.

A study of the virus - which can cause severe birth defects and neurological issues - found the mutation makes it more infectious, potentially breaking through pre-existing immunity.

There was an epidemic of the virus in 2015 and 2016, beginning in Brazil and spreading to other countries in the Americas.

The World Health Organization declared it an international health emergency, and many countries around the world issued travel warnings.
