Overview
Pathophysiology
Transmission
- Zika virus is primarily transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. These mosquitoes are also vectors for dengue and chikungunya viruses.[1][2]
- Transmission of Zika virus to a fetus from an infected mother is possible but rare.
- Zika virus has also been proven to be sexually transmitted between humans by Brian Foy, a biologist at Colorado State University.[3]
