MANAGEMENT OF ZIKA VIRUS

text-align:justify" align="left">Virus is transmitted by infected

mosquitoes that act as vectors to infect individuals during a mosquito bite.

The viruses are not reported to be transmitted from person to person, although

theoretically this could happen in some rare instances (blood transfusions,

organ transplants, sexual contact, and from mother to fetus). Some

investigators suggest that transfer of Zika virus may be transmitted by sexual

contact more frequently than first suspected, thus providing another way the

virus is transmitted. Because sexual transfer of this virus may be more

frequent, physicians are recommending the use of condoms to protect uninfected

sex partners from getting the disease.

incubation period for Zika viruses is about three to 12 days after the mosquito

bite. Symptoms may last about four to seven days. Approximately 60%- 80% of

infections do not produce any symptoms or signs. The incubation period for the

virus infection transmitted by sexual contact is under investigation.
