See what bothers me the most about Zika is that the fetus is effected so heinously it almost appears to be engineered. It is ultimately fatal to human populations if an entire generation are born microcephalics.
But. for the sake of productive dialogue there is a great deal about a more casual relationship with the fetal genetics.
If the chromosomes are the issue what comes into question is the father's 23 chromosomes in the balance as well?
We cannot afford to miss the mark on this. I am sure mutation of virus can become very specific and of course virus experience many hundreds or thousands of generations of mutation in the life of one human being. I think a virus can be this specific, but, there is no history in human existence of something this specific. HIV was acquired, not genetic due to acquiring a virus. The born infant may have never been effected by the virus directly and that is something that needs to be defined without question.
The beginnings of the first exposure is also from a strange place.
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to dengue virus. It was first isolated from a rhesus monkey in Zika forest, Uganda in 1947, in mosquitoes (Aedes africanus) in the same forest in 1948 and in humans in Nigeria in 1954. Zika virus is endemic in parts of Africa and Asia and was first identified in the South Pacific after an outbreak on Yap Island in the Federated States of Micronesia in 2007.
Uganda is a country without compassion and vendettas unlike others, especially it's past.
...In 1947, however, (click here) the forest was a focal point for global disease research, with scientists testing wildlife and insects for signs of yellow fever. By accident, they came across a different and apparently harmless virus transmitted by mosquitoes to monkeys. They named it Zika.
Today the Zika forest is far smaller. Its position between Kampala and the country’s main international airport, as well as striking views of Lake Victoria, has made it a popular location for real estate. The Zika virus also attracted little attention until recently. In the last 70 years, there have only been two recorded cases of Zika in humans in Uganda — although it is very possible that many cases went undetected because the virus’ symptoms in Africa are very mild....
The other global scenario is that money finally has no meaning. Missions to Mars are not about money and wealth, that is an Earthly commodity. Same is true with life on Earth when the needs of the majority outweigh the existence of the few super-wealthy. Poverty by design has to be fought or surrendered to 'service to humanity.' Zika has the potential to be exactly that dynamic.

- Week 5 is the start of the "embryonic period." This is when all the baby's major systems and structures develop.
- The embryo's cells multiply and start to take on specific functions. This is called differentiation.
- Blood cells, kidney cells, and nerve cells all develop.
- The embryo grows rapidly, and the baby's external features begin to form.
- Your baby's brain, spinal cord, and heart begin to develop.
- Baby's gastrointestinal tract starts to form.
- It's during this time in the first trimester that the baby is most at risk for damage from things that may cause birth defects. This includes certain medications, illegal drug use, heavy alcohol use, infections such as rubella, and other factors.

I sincerely hope all those involved with Zika have the records of this activity in Uganda.
What has to be determined very early on is the invasive percentage of Zika in the global community. At some point in time, and this is really heartless but needs to be said. At some point in time women that may have permanent genetic viral changes have to consider sterilization simply because of the ever growing burden of a society unable to care for more and more microcephalic infants. At some point in time, the security of the global community comes into question.
Religious leaders would need to be involved and I would estimate from this time forward,
