Zika's been around a long time?
If the 'issue' is real, perhaps other environmental factors involved too?
First detected in the 40s.
Why now, the US CDC issued an alert in January warning people not to travel to known infected regions, it wasn't the first outbreak but the press got hold of this and ran with the story.
An environmental factor is more people becoming highly mobile travelers from infected areas. The virus eventually being transported to South America by a host.
We didn't here about it entering the Asia Pacific two years ago, but it did!
Universities and Institutes around Australia have been studying it for several years. But when it puts America on the infection list entering via Mexico the world goes berserk.
