Bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef, and a Zika Update

The video discusses the severe coral bleaching affecting reefs near Australia and Papua New Guinea, caused by rising ocean temperatures due to El Nino and global warming. It highlights the ecological importance of coral reefs and the potential long-term damage. Additionally, the video covers the discovery of the 3D structure of the Zika virus by Purdue University researchers, which could aid in understanding the virus's impact on humans and developing protective measures.

What are the potential long-term effects of coral bleaching on marine ecosystems?

How does the structure of the Zika virus contribute to its ability to infect human cells?
