FIRST CASE OF ZIKA VIRUS DETECTED IN ARKANSAS

The US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) told the department late yesterday afternoon that the infected resident recently traveled out of the country and had “a mild case of Zika”.
Originally discovered in Africa in the 1940s, the relatively-new disease first appeared in Brazil in May 2005.
According to the Arkansas health department's statement, the virus has since spread to at least 20 countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean.
