DESOTO COUNTY, MS (WMC) -

The Mississippi State Department of Health confirmed one person in DeSoto County has the Zika virus.

MSDH said the infected person traveled to Jamaica recently.

Zika is a virus that is transmitted between people by mosquitoes. If contracted during pregnancy, it can cause serious birth defects. In healthy adults, it can cause a mild illness with symptoms like fever and pain lasting for several days to a week. However, some patients have no symptoms at all.
