Researchers are calling it a major milestone in the fight against the zika virus.

Scientists from the University of Texas say they've successfully cloned the mosquito-borne virus.

This allows researchers to study the potential damages it causes, and work on developing a vaccine.

The zika virus has caused panic across North and South America.

Some health experts want the Olympic Committee to move this year's summer games out of Brazil, because of it.
