The 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil won't trigger a global spread of Zika virus, with little risk of infected competitors and spectators sparking widespread local transmissions back in their home countries, public health experts say. Fear of the mosquito-borne virus has led some athletes to skip the games. The Zika virus can cause the brain-related birth defect microcephaly if an expectant mother becomes infected. Pregnant women are being advised not to visit the city. [Source: CNN]
