niman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 OverviewThe primary transmission route of Zika virus is via the Aedes mosquito. However, mounting evidence has shown that sexual transmission of Zika virus is possible and more common than previously assumed. This is of concern due to an association between Zika virus infection and adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes, including microcephaly, neurological complications and Guillain-Barré syndrome.The current evidence base on Zika virus remains limited. This guidance will be reviewed and the recommendations updated as new evidence emerges.Related linksAll publications, technical guidances on Zika virusZika virus and potential complications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
