Clinton wants billion for combat zikavirus

US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called on MPs in her country to interrupt their summer break.

Florida is the first state where the zikavirus locally transmitted. Earlier infections were only incurred abroad. Clinton hopes that converted 1 billion could be freed to fight the virus.

The zikavirus is probably especially dangerous for unborn babies. They may get microcephaly, a condition that leads to a too small skull and lagging development of the brains. Brazilian scientists, however, not exclude that the virus leads to more problems, which may only become apparent later in life.
