Zika virus disease, non-congenital

• Mild fever
• Rash
• Joint pain (arthralgia)
• Red eyes (conjunctivitis)
• Muscle pain
• Headache
• Symptoms are often mild and can last for several days to a week; many infected individuals are asymptomatic.

Zika virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected *Aedes* species mosquitoes, mainly *Aedes aegypti*. It can also spread through sexual contact with an infected person. Less common routes include blood transfusions and organ transplantation.

• Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants
• Stay in air-conditioned or screened rooms
• Eliminate standing water around homes to reduce mosquito breeding sites
• Use condoms to prevent sexual transmission of the virus (if you or your partner have traveled to a Zika-affected area)
• Currently, there is no vaccine available to prevent Zika virus infection.
