Interim Guidance for Preventing Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus
Interim Guidance for Preventing Sexual Transmission of Zika VirusZika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Arthropods
Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other ArthropodsVaccines or chemoprophylactic drugs are available to protect against some vectorborne diseases such as yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and malaria; however, travel health practitioners should advise travelers to use repellents and other general protective measures against biting arthropods. The effectiveness of malaria chemoprophylaxis is variable, depending on patterns of drug resistance, bioavailability, and compliance with medication, and no similar preventive measures exist for other mosquitoborne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile encephalitis or tickborne diseases such as Lyme borreliosis, tickborne encephalitis, and relapsing fever. |

Zika Care Connect
Zika Care ConnectZika Care Connect aims to improve access to specialty healthcare services for the management of Zika virus infection during pregnancy and outcomes in infants caused by Zika. The program targets the most important and removable barriers to care, as identified by maternal and pediatric care experts. We focus on women infected with Zika during pregnancy, as well as infants born to mothers with laboratory evidence of Zika. |
Zika Virus Information
Zika Virus InformationZika virus is spread to people through mosquito bites. The most common symptoms of Zika virus disease are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. |

Zika Virus Information for Pregnant Women
Zika Virus Information for Pregnant WomenZika virus can be spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus and has been linked to a serious birth defect of the brain called microcephaly in babies of mothers who had Zika virus while pregnant. Other problems have been detected among fetuses and infants infected with Zika virus before birth, such as absent or poorly developed brain structures, defects of the eye, hearing deficits, and impaired growth. |
