As of 28 November 2016 the Texas Department of State Health Services has reported the first case of Zika virus disease likely transmitted by a mosquito in Texas. The patient is a Cameron County resident who is not pregnant and who was confirmed last week by lab test to have been infected.
Please refer to the Health Protection Scotland ZIKV transmission table to determine the current risk category of any given country/territory/area:
ZIKV is most commonly spread by mosquito bites, but there is also a risk of sexual transmission. There is a link between ZIKV infection and babies being born with birth defects.
