[webfact]

 

A warning has been issued about increasing Zika virus infections in Bangkok, by Professor Dr. Yong Poovorawan, chief of the Centre of Excellence in Clinical Virology at the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University.

 

In his Facebook post today, Dr. Yong says that the virus, which is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has recently been spreading in Bangkok. The symptoms are similar to those of dengue fever, but less severe.

 

He added, however, that some people can develop severe complications, which may lead to cessation of breathing.
