Resumo

The reality of the Brazilian public health at a time of financial crisis gets even worse the situation of the Zika virus outbreak, which has expressed concern about its relationship with the cases of microcephaly that currently plague the country. This relationship seems to be increasingly close. The Zika virus, currently has been a major enemy of international public health, increasing astronomically cases of microcephaly in Brazil and other equally worrying disorders. This virus is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti.
