--- PRESS RELEASE ---For Immediate Release DCHHS Reports 13th Zika Virus Case in Dallas County DALLAS (July 12, 2016) – Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) is reporting the 13th case of Zika virus in Dallas County in 2016. The case was confirmed through testing in the DCHHS lab. DCHHS has submitted the case for review to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The 49-year-old patient is a resident of Carrollton who was infected with the virus during recent travel to Mexico. For medical confidentiality and personal privacy reasons, DCHHS does not provide additional identifying information. While sexual transmission of Zika virus is possible, it is primarily transmitted to people by Aedes species mosquitoes. The most common symptoms of Zika virus are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting several days to a week. DCHHS advises individuals with symptoms to see a healthcare provider if they visited an area where Zika virus is present or had sexual contact with a person who traveled to an area where Zika virus is present. There is no specific medication available to treat Zika virus and there is not a vaccine. The best ways to avoid Zika virus are to avoid mosquito bites and sexual contact with a person who has Zika virus. There are currently no reports of Zika virus being locally-transmitted by mosquitoes in Dallas County. However, imported cases make local spread by mosquitoes possible because the mosquitoes that can transmit the virus are found locally. DCHHS advises recent travelers with Zika virus symptoms as well as individuals diagnosed with the virus to protect themselves from further mosquito bites. # For additional information, contact: YaMonica Sadberry, Administrative [email protected] 214.819.6070 (office) Zachary Thompson, Director 214.755.9299 (cell)

Health officials: third case of Zika virus found in NebraskaUPDATED 3:19 PM CDT Jul 11, 2016NEXT STORY Police say mom took her 2-day-old son from Nebraska hospital Text Size:AAA1. What is Zika and why is it so serious? The Zika virus is part of the same family as the viruses that cause yellow fever, West Nile, chikungunya and dengue. But unlike some of those viruses, there is no vaccine to prevent Zika or medicine to treat the infection. Zika is commanding worldwide attention because of an alarming connection between the virus and microcephaly, a neurological disorder that results in babies being born with abnormally small heads. This causes severe developmental issues and sometimes death. USDA via CNNLINCOLN, Neb. —A third travel-related case of the Zika virus has bene confirmed in Nebraska. RELATED Iowa DOT says it will close... UPDATE: Akeem Jones sentenced to... Three former Huskers named to U.S.... Nebraska Humane Society cuts adoption... Bellevue community rallies around...The state Department of Health and Human Services said Monday that all the cases in Nebraska involve women in their 20s who traveled to Zika-affected countries. The new case is a woman from Douglas County. The previous cases reported in February were women from Douglas and Sarpy counties. None of the three women was hospitalized. The Zika outbreak has mainly hit Latin America and the Caribbean. The virus is mainly transmitted by mosquito. While most people infected with the virus do not get sick, health officials are investigating whether there is a link between Zika infections in pregnant women and a rare birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads. http://www.ketv.com/news/third-travelrelated-zika-virus-case-reported-in-nebraska/40456842
