If these presumed associations are confirmed, the human and social consequences for the over 30 countries with recently detected Zika outbreaks will be staggering, WHO said.
In this regard, the organization insisted on the control of Aedes aegypti, the principal mosquito vector of Zika virus.
This insect has a great ability to adapt to various environments, including those created by changes in the human lifestyle, WHO added.
Given the seriousness of the spread of dengue in recent years and now the Zika virus, it is vital to develop more control techniques, WHO stated.
