AB  - Zika  virus  is  a  viral  disease  related  to  dengue  fever.  A  flavivirus,  Zika  is  an  emerging  virus  that  has  spread  from  its  origins  near  equatorial  Africa  and  Asia  to  the  Americas.  It  is  transmitted  primarily  by  the  bite  of  the  Aedes  aegypti  mosquito  and  to  a  lesser  extent  Aedes  albopictus.  Sexual  transmission  has  been  reported,  and  Zika  has  been  detected  in  semen  for  greater  than  90  days  following  infection.  In  utero  transmission  has  been  reported;  thus,  safe  sex  precautions  should  be  observed  for  90  days  following  exposure.
