Medical Conditions - Zika Virus

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is transmitted through a bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito, but it can also be transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusion, or from mother to fetus during pregnancy. Symptoms of Zika virus infection can include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes, but many people infected with the Zika virus may not experience any symptoms at all. Prevention measures include avoiding mosquito bites, practicing safe sex, and taking precautions while traveling to areas where the Zika virus is prevalent.
