What we know about Zika • Zika can be spread from a mother to her fetus during pregnancy. • Infection during pregnancies may be linked to birth defects in babies. • Zika is spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. 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.
