This graph shows projections of the number of women in Latin America and the Caribbean who are in childbearing age and at risk of being infected with the Zika virus within the first wave of the epidemic. It has been estimated that before the first wave of the epidemic concludes a total of 1.65 million child bearing women in Latin America and the Caribbean could be infected with the Zika virus. Brazil is projected to experience the most of such cases with 579 thousand infections. Brazil had seen a sharp rise in cases of microcephaly among newborns in 2015 believed to be connected with the spreading of the Zika virus.
