Topic: “Microcephaly, salivary transmission and other considerations of the Zika Virus infection”.
Course Description:
There is a certain urgency with this disease as we expect to have cases of Zika in the summer period, and dentists need to be prepared to act to protect themselves and be ready to answer the public’s questions.
