Zika virus can also be spread through sexual contact with an infected partner, even if the infected person has no symptoms.
Why and how is it spread?
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus. In particular, it is transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The Zika virus is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which transmit infectious diseases such as dengue and chikungunya.
What is the symptom?
Many people infected with the Zika virus may show no symptoms or only mild symptoms that last up to a week. Affected sufferers have mild fever, skin rash, headache, muscle and joint pain, and irritation in the inner part of the eyelids. This symptom usually lasts for 2-7 days. If symptoms worsen, the World Health Organization recommends seeking medical attention.
Security mechanism
Use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, use air conditioning to prevent mosquito bites, or close all windows in homes. In particular, correct and consistent use of condoms to prevent sexual transmission. Also, it is best to avoid traveling to areas with Zika virus outbreaks.
