Zika virus reached Russia – BBC News

Joined Russia’s first case of infection with Zeke. Rospotrebnadzor found that the Russian woman went to the hospital with fever and rash. Apparently, she caught an infection in the Dominican Republic. Is there a risk that infected other people

On an infected Russian tourists know little: she returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic in early February, but felt unwell a few days later. I thought that acclimatization; and after the appearance of suspected swine flu temperature. But in laboratory studies experts found that Russians Zika virus. The main infectious diseases in Moscow Andrey Devyatkin said: “A full survey, including a study on the arbovirus infections, and one study has been installed, the disease she feels good, wants to go home, but she has to go through a check-up before discharge..”
