  • The first frontline account of the Zika epidemic. 
  • Much of the coverage of Zika has been alarmist, and focussed on the risks posed to affluent Americans and Olympic athletes. This book corrects this by looking at the disease from the perspective of those ordinary Brazilians who have been most affected by it.
  • A provocative, polemical work, exposing the Brazilian government’s culpability in allowing the virus to spread through negligence and inaction. 
  • Features rich on-the-ground reporting, which gives due prominence to those unsung local doctors and mothers who are working to curb the spread of the epidemic.
