These mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters. They can also bite at night. • Zika is not currently found in the US. The mosquitoes that can carry Zika are found in some areas of the US. • Because the mosquitoes that spread Zika virus are found throughout the tropics, outbreaks will likely continue. • There is no vaccine or medicine for Zika.
