Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | TwitterBOSTON (CBSMiami/NSF) – After a successful trial in rhesus monkeys, a team of researchers, including doctors from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, is ready to start testing a Zika virus vaccine in humans, they announced this week.U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat who joined the team in Boston, chastised his Republican colleagues for withholding $1.9 billion in funding requested by President Barack Obama even as the virus has turned up in mosquitoes in South Florida.Authorities believe the virus can cause devastating birth defects when pregnant women are infected, and confirmation of recent infections caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday to recommend against travel to a Miami neighborhood.
