This backgrounder provides a basic introduction to the Zika virus, the threat it poses to the Western Hemisphere and beyond, and how the world's health authorities are responding to what they see as a budding health emergency. The text’s author also considers whether military organizations will join the anti-Zika fight and thereby set a major precedent for the possible “militarization” of future health crises.
