The World Health Organization reports evidence is accumulating of a causal link between the Zika virus and two neurological disorders — microcephaly, which causes brain abnormalities in newborn babies — and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which can result in paralysis.

Zika, like dengue fever and West Nile virus, is in a family of mosquito-borne viruses called flaviviruses. A new study suggests that Zika can be much worse for people previously infected with another flavivirus. In pregnant women, it may put their babies at higher risk for serious birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which infants are born with abnormally small heads.
