Zika virus infects people through the bite of a mosquito and can cause fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis. It may also be responsible for certain birth defects when pregnant women are infected with Zika. Travel-related cases of Zika virus infection have been confirmed in Mississippi. No locally-transmitted cases have been reported in the state.

DoH says only one confirmation.  Landing page modified for future reference,

DoH contact seems to be wrong:

 

 

A second Zika virus case has been reported in Mississippi, according to the Mississippi Department of Health.

The patient is from Noxubee, Mississippi and recently traveled to Haiti, according to a press release issued by MSDH Friday morning.
