中国科学家已解码寨卡病毒基因组
Chinese scientists have sequenced the genome of the country's first imported Zika virus, helping with prevention and diagnosis.
中国科学家已经测序寨卡病毒的基因组，这将对该病毒的预防与诊断有帮助作用。
This will lay the foundation for understanding the variations of the virus as well as developing bacteria and re-agents to diagnose the disease.
China has had confirmed two Zika cases, both were imported.
Zika causes only minor flu-like symptoms in adults.
However, researchers believe the virus is the likely factor behind a sharp rise in cases of microcephaly - newborns with abnormally small heads.
