niman Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 OverviewThe main mode of Zika virus transmission is through infected Aedes mosquitoes. However, current widespread transmission of the virus has raised questions as to whether transmission can also occur during breastfeeding, a practice essential to infant and young child survival and development.The purpose of this document is to provide interim recommendations to guide breastfeeding practices in the context of Zika virus. A systematic review of evidence will be conducted in March 2016 to revise and update these recommendations.Related linksAll publications, technical guidances on Zika virusMicrocephaly/Zika virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
