All About Zika Virus:

  • Facts: Zika virus is primarily transmitted to people by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, which also spreads other diseases like Dengue fever.  It was first discovered in 1947 in the Zika forest of Uganda.  Symptoms are usually mild and include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes.
  • Outbreaks: A 2015 outbreak in Brazil coincided with an increase in birth defects, leading to its declaration as a public health emergency by the WHO. Zika has since spread rapidly to other countries, with no specific treatments or vaccines available yet.
  • Prevention: The best way to prevent Zika virus is to avoid mosquito bites, especially from Aedes mosquitoes, which are most active during the morning and daytime.  Additionally, the virus can spread through sexual contact or from an infected pregnant mother to her fetus.
