Zika virus infection is caused by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, usually causing rash, mild fever, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain.
This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue and chikungunya.
Unlike malaria-carrying mosquitos, this species is mostly active during the day and so barrier methods such as mosquito nets are ineffective.
These mosquitos can survive in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The Zika virus was first identified in monkeys in Uganda in 1947.
The first human case, however, was detected in Nigeria in 1954, and following that there have been further outbreaks in Africa, South East Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Only 1 in 4 people infected with Zika virus are believed to develop symptoms which include fever, rash, headache and conjunctivitis.
Research is ongoing on the risk of mother-to-child transmission of the virus and its possible effects on babies, where birth defects have been seen.
