#ZikaQA: Goats and Soda's Live Video Q&A On The Zika Virus

UPDATE January 26, 11:52 a.m.: This live Q&A has ended. Watch a recorded version in the player above.

In the past year, Zika virus has emerged as a serious health risk, linked to severe birth defects in Brazil. NPR's South America Correspondent Lourdes Garcia-Navarro and Global Health Correspondent Jason Beaubien answered your questions on this mosquito-borne disease in a live YouTube web stream on Tuesday, January 26, 11 a.m. ET.

Last week, Garcia-Navarro reported on one of the mothers who herself had Zika virus and whose baby was born with microcephaly. Beaubien talked to specialists for a report on what we do and don't yet know about the disease.
