Reuters - Race to fast-track Zika trials as 12 groups seek vaccine
Reuters reports: "At least 12 groups are now working to develop a Zika vaccine and health
authorities said on Monday they were working to ensure development
proceeded as rapidly as possible.
[...] With no approved Zika vaccines or medicines and none even
undergoing clinical studies, scientists and drugmakers are on the
starting-block in fighting the mosquito-borne disease suspected of
causing a spike in birth defects in Brazil."
Comment: I wonder if they will also look into better ways of fighting mosquitos? After all, they would not need to cure Zika if the primary disease vector was eradicated.
