The primary way that Zika is spread is through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.  This is a primarily a daytime biting mosquito.  Zika can also be transmitted through unprotected sex, blood and body fluids, and from a pregnant mother directly to her unborn child.  Although there is currently no vaccine or direct treatment for Zika, prevention is the best defense. Prevention in the form of mosquito control, insect repellents, protective clothing, condoms, or abstinence can help to lower a person's risk of contracting Zika.
