Zika virus disease is a mosquito-borne illness caused by the Zika virus. It is spread primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. Symptoms of Zika virus disease are usually mild and include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). In some cases, Zika virus infection can cause more severe complications, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, microcephaly, and other neurological disorders.

The most common symptoms of Zika virus disease are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other symptoms may include muscle pain, headache, and fatigue.

The Zika virus is primarily spread through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. It can also be spread from mother to child during pregnancy, through sexual contact, and through blood transfusions.

1. There is currently no specific treatment or vaccine for Zika virus disease. Treatment is generally supportive and includes rest, fluids, and medications to reduce fever and pain.

2. Pregnant women should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of Zika virus infection and should be tested for Zika virus infection if they develop any symptoms.

3. People who are infected with Zika virus should take steps to prevent mosquito bites for the duration of the illness and for at least 7 days after symptoms start.

4. People who have traveled to areas with Zika virus should take steps to prevent mosquito bites for at least 3 weeks after returning home.

1. Living or traveling in an area with active Zika virus transmission.
2. Having unprotected sex with someone who has traveled to or lives in an area with active Zika virus transmission.
3. Receiving a blood transfusion from someone who has traveled to or lives in an area with active Zika virus transmission.
4. Being pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
5. Being a healthcare worker or laboratory worker who is exposed to Zika virus.
6. Being a mosquito control worker who is exposed to Zika virus.
7. Being a traveler who is exposed to Zika virus through mosquito bites.

At this time, there is no specific medicine or vaccine to treat Zika virus disease. Treatment is focused on relieving symptoms, such as fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). People with Zika virus disease should get plenty of rest, drink fluids to prevent dehydration, and treat pain and fever with common medicines. If symptoms worsen, they should seek medical care and advice.
