Zika virus disease is transmitted to people by the bite of infected Aedes species mosquitoes. These mosquitoes also transmit chikungunya and dengue; the symptoms are also similar. Only 1 in 5 people become ill from infection with Zika virus. Fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (redness of the eyes) are the most common symptoms, usually lasting for several days to a week. Muscle pain and headache may also occur. Hospitalization and death are not usually associated with infection. Currently, infection with Zika virus is associated with travel to countries where cases are being reported (e.g. countries in Africa, the Americans, and Oceania). No cases have been reported in West Virginia.
