The Zika virus is set to spread through Asia, the World Health Organization warned Monday, with hundreds of cases reported in Singapore and two Thai babies diagnosed with Zika-linked microcephaly.

The two cases of the birth defect marked by a small head were the first in Southeast Asia, following Zika outbreaks in the Americas.

Scientists say they have found a suitable animal model for testing new Zika drugs.

Economists say concerns about the birth defect could dent the Singapore government's efforts to boost the number of babies born to its citizens.

Singapore will no longer isolate people who test positive for Zika or are suspected of carrying it, the health ministry said.

Singapore on Monday confirmed more Zika infections, bringing the total number of cases past 50.

US health officials reported the first known case of a man who acquired Zika virus while traveling, showed no symptoms, and infected his female partner during unprotected sex.

Hong Kong authorities reported the citys first Zika virus infection Thursday, which they described as an imported case of the disease blamed for birth defects.

A baby born with brain defects caused by the mosquito-borne Zika virus has died in Texas, marking the southern state's first Zika-related death, officials said Tuesday.

Pregnant women infected with the Zika virus during the first trimester have a risk of up to 13 percent that their infant will be born with the microcephaly birth defect, a new study says.

The health ministry is in constant contact with its Singapore counterpart to exchange latest developments on Zika to take preventive measures.

The decision was based in part on a series of studies in Brazil, where thousands of babies were born last year with birth defects.

Authorities Saturday reported the first sexually transmitted case of Zika in mainland Chile.

The recommended waiting periods are the same for sexually active couples who are not trying to get pregnant.

State health authorities and the relevant divisions are directed to immediately create a system to monitor and manage the Zika virus infection as a preparatory measure.
