Cambodia catches mosquitoes, larvae for Zika virus test

The virus is spread primarily through mosquitos, so far limited to the aedes aegypti variety found in South America and south-east Asia but only in far north Queensland in Australia. The virus is usually transmitted by the bite of a mosquito.
At an emergency meeting of health officials in Latin America, the director of the Pan American Health Organization said the sexual transmission revelation raises new concerns.
That's what happened in Dallas.

Health officials said a person there - who had not traveled to an outbreak area - was infected. But it wasn't the first to raise the possibility of sexual transmission of the virus.
"So the work will only occur if someone brings the virus in from overseas and it spreads locally". "Yet we don't have a single confirmed case of microcephaly".

Most Zika carriers are asymptomatic, with only about 1 in 5 presenting with mild fever and other flu symptoms that last about a week.
Zika has been reported in 30 countries since it first appeared in the Americas past year in Brazil, where it has been linked to thousands of babies being born with microcephaly.

Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of public health emergency Wednesday in Florida's Miami-Dade, Lee, Hillsborough and Santa Rosa counties following the confirmation of nine Zika virus cases across the state.
Health officials have yet to establish a direct causal relationship between Zika virus infection and birth defects, but it is strongly suspected. "The person later tested positive for Zika, along with their sexual partner, who had not traveled to the area".
According to USA Today, many experts are predicting the spread of the Zika virus in the U.S.as the temperature rises.

Total disconnect between the article/link and the headline. Yes, yes, I know that ThaiVisa is merely regurgitating their source, but it would be nice if TV at least read the piece, before making themselves look like idiots by publishing nonsense,

The moderator who put up the OP would do as well by seating a monkey at the keyboard,
