是什么 Zika病毒?

Zika病毒 virus is primarily spread through the bite of an infected aedes species mosquito. 虽然它会引起发烧, 皮疹, 关节疼痛，眼睛发红或发红, about 80 percent of people infected with Zika病毒 do not become ill or have 症状. Zika病毒 can also be spread through blood transfusions 和 sexual contact.

我应该担心吗??

Although there is currently no evidence local mosquitoes are infected with Zika病毒, Texas has a long mosquito season 和 many people travel to places where Zika病毒 is active. This means the possibility exists for travelers to come into contact with Zika病毒 和 potentially spread it to their loved ones here.

Zika病毒 virus can be spread from mother to child if the mother is infected with Zika病毒 during pregnancy. Zika病毒 virus has been linked to birth defects such as 头小畸型, a condition where a baby’s head is much smaller than expected 和 can cause developmental delays.
