Zika has been linked with birth defects, such as microcephaly - a neurological disorder that causes babies to be born with small craniums and limited brain development. The untreatable virus has caused many deaths and has even convinced some top athletes headed to the Olympics in Rio this August to withdrawal from the competition.
The virus may be untreatable, but researchers are attempting to find another way to stop the devastating virus. A mosquito lab in China - the largest mosquito factory in the world - is working to end the Zika virus. Getty photographer Kevin Frayer recently visited the factory.
