This episode of Infectious Questions responds to questions raised in media reports that pesticides, rather than the Zika Virus, might be responsible for such birth defects as microcephaly.

 

Joining us once again is Dr. Philippe Lagacé-Wiens, Assistant Professor of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease at the University of Manitoba and a consultant with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority's Travel and Tropical Medicine Clinic.
