With the Zika virus in the news, some people have wondered why we don't just kill them ALL.

This week on SciShow news we have some very unfortunate reports from scientists concerning the Great Barrier Reef. However, scientists have also created a 3-D model of Zika Virus, which is one step towards finding out how it functions.

The Zika Virus is spreading at an alarming rate. SciShow News will explain what we know and what we don't know thus far.

The Zika virus is spreading through the Americas and is suspected to be causing babies to be born with tiny heads (and less developed brains).

As our world gets warmer and our climate gets more extreme, the weather isn’t the only thing that’s changing and becoming more dangerous. Disease vectors are also spreading and becoming riskier to humans. In this episode of Weathered, we...

A British company Oxitec may have a way to fight Zika virus. They create genetically modified mosquitoes that produce offspring that will not survive into adulthood. The company uses a tetracycline repressible activator variant or tTAV...

Three new experiments studying how Zika affects a developing fetus could provide proof of a causal link between the outbreak in Brazil and the spate of birth defects in babies that followed. The Los Angeles Times reports that the...
