Denmark and Switzerland on Wednesday joined a growing number of European countries to report Zika infections in tourists returning from Latin America, where the mosquito-borne virus has been blamed for a surge in birth defects.
本周三，丹麦和瑞士两国也加入了曾前往拉丁美洲的旅客感染上寨卡病毒的、数量持续上升的欧洲国家之中。这种蚊媒疾病在该地区造成了大量先天畸形。

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Zika, a flu-like disease with a rash that goes unnoticed in 70 to 80 percent of cases. Most patients treat the symptoms simply with painkillers and other medication.
目前仍没有疫苗和特殊治疗方法来应对寨卡。据悉，寨卡的症状与感冒相似，会突发性地大量传播，但是70%到80%的患者都对此后知后觉。大多数患者仅仅是通过服用止疼片或者其他药物来应付它。
Britain has reported five cases in travellers returning from South America since last year while the Netherlands has confirmed 10 cases, also in people returning from the region.
