roughly 150 cases of microcephaly occurred in brazil in 2014. last year, there were more than 4,000. anna's mother bruna tells us her zika infection happened when she was 12 months pregnant. the last in her family to get it but they were all sick. fever, headache, rash. nobody imagined it could affect her baby. >> when during your pregnancy did you know that there was a problem with anna beatrice? >> translator: never. >> reporter: anna's condition wasn't picked up until the sudden silence in the delivery room. doctors told her anna would only live for a day but she's defying the odds. >> she's looking at you. does she recognize you? >> translator: uh-huh. >> reporter: every case of microcephaly is different but many doctors and scientists say the big rise in cases has a common cause. a mosquito carrying the zika virus. 80% of those infected with zika don't feel sick, no symptoms at all. but for those who are pregnant, evidence is growing that it can be a disaster. >> to control this outbreak the government is trying to reach 50 million houses a

while in brazil experts are trying to determine whether the virus could be linked to a rare condition that causes paralysis in adults. nbc's rehema ellis reports from brazil. >> reporter: mosquitos are the primary way the zika virus is transmitted, but today the cdc confirmed the first case acquired by sexual contact in texas. as a result, the cdc tells nbc news it will now issue a new advisory this week. back, gets sick with zika and then has sexual intercourse with a woman who is pregnant or may be pregnant, there is the theoretical risk that that woman could then become infected with zika. >> reporter: as health officials study transmission, the cdc is also investigating other serious illnesses seca may cause beyond microcephaly in babies. in brazil, 27-year-old dave gomez is recovering from sudden paralysis he woke up a month ago after having zika zika-like symptoms. he was diagnosed with gulan-barre syndrome, a debill interrogate and often treatable condition with blood cell infusions and physical therapy. >> last year we have 65 cases. >> reporter: this neurologist says that's f

the section in brazil is a poor area, a more tropical area. local editions make it more likely you will get the disease. we do have for a while now, a drug that provides incentive for some industry. so we have some tools and we are looking at how we are going to work in that space so the industry is engaged with developing the products and getting them out, to the poor in particular. >> keep talking, you all are great. we need to spend money on this. thank you for what you are doing, and thanks for being so patient with me here, asking all these questions. >> just to final quick questions. i remember my first trip to el salvador in the 1980's, being struck by how many people -- the president was actually there, and there wasn't a screen in the place that i can recall. people do not have screens. even our officers are at risk if they do not have screens. is that something that is being looked at, to promote screening? secondly, there are reports that some are exploiting child disability linked to zika to promote abortion. i hope you can verify

in brazil, donated blood is not yet tested for zika virus. instead donors are asked if they've recently been ill, but virus have no symptom, infections. in brazil the virus is predominantly spread through mosquitoes, but in the united states, nearly all the reported cases are imported from travelers. that's why the major blood banks say people should not donate blood if they have traveled in the last 28 days to mexico, the caribbean, south or central america. the director of transfusion medicine at u.p.m.c. >> if the deferral will take care of the great majority of the risk, so i think by far the benefits of transfusion would outweigh the very small risks of an infected unit. >> reporter: there is a test called p.c.r. that can detect zika virus in the blood, but it's not government approved in brazil or in the united states where about 21 million units are transfused each year. >> we keep the virus here frozen. >> reporter: researchers rafael franka has been studying in brazil. >> we have the machines and the technology to do. this we need to

even though it has been around since 1947 it's burgeoning in brazil. and the mosquitos were wiped out because they were trying to get rid of dengue fever. also on that mosquito. the mosquito carries dengue fever, yellow fever, and now zika. it's to the really found in the united states except in southern states. dengue has never taken hold here n. brazil it's burgeoning. >> two states now with states of emergency, right. >> i want to talk about that. first of all, 80% of the time you have no symptom. so there is a lot of people out there that have it that don't know. rapid testing for zika virus is just coming into play -- >> americans right now may have and it not know it. >> no, because all the cases you mentioned, they are all travelers. the 50 or so are all travelers. it hasn't happened here because it is a mosquito borne illness. we've had about sexual transmission and urine and saliva. there has only been one case about sexual transmission. we pretend we don't know anything about this virus. in french poll indonesia there was an outbreak, well st

scott, we'll be reporting. >> jon lapook in brazil. amtrak is trying to find out what hit a high speed acela train last night in philadelphia. whatever it was it gashed a window. the train was taken out of service. nobody was hurt. this is eerily similar though to last may when a commuter train was hit by something just before an amtrak regional train crashed in philadelphia. that crash killed eight and injured nearly 200. today federal investigators gave here is kris van cleave. pictures from train 188 dash camera show the moment the speeding train left the tracks. engineer brandon bostian told investigators a minute before the accident he realized he was going ten miles too slow and began accelerating. next memory was feeling as the i was going too fast around a curve. the train's event recorder found that he applied full throttle a mile and a half from the curve. the train reached 106 mild an hour before bostian hit the brakes. he said i remember holding on to the controls tightly and feeling like, okay, well this is it. i'm going o

jon lapook is in brazil. jon, a million tourists have come to brazil. a million will go home. so what does all this mean for the potential spread of the virus? >> reporter: well, jim, it's a great concern. because one theory about the way that zika actually came to brazil in the first place is that it was brought here in 2014 with the world cup soccer matches by someone who was infected with zika virus elsewhere, came to brazil, and then an uninfected mosquito here bit that person and got infected with the virus. now we're thinking perhaps it could happen in reverse-- infected people here could then travel elsewhere and you would have local transmission in those countries. >> axelrod: scary scenario. so, jon, we learned a lot more about how zika is transmitted in terms of bodily fluids this week. what do we know now that we didn't before? remarkable, jim. in just one week, we've learned first that it could be sexually transmitted. then it could be transmited by blood transfusion. and now just yesterday, we found out that in brazil, the virus has been isolated from urine and fr
