<human>: I've been hearing a lot of news about the Zika virus. What is it?
<bot>: The Zika virus is an infectious disease that is spread by mosquitoes. It was first identified in 1947 in Uganda. The most common symptoms are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). In rare cases, it can cause neurological problems such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, which causes temporary paralysis.
