Jambo-Jimbo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Spain has had 190 cases so far, all bar one where contracted abroad. This is the first baby born with Microcephaly in Europe, that can be linked to the Zika virus. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36888207 Even the UK has had at least 4 cases of people being infected by the Zika virus, all caught abroad. Until the local mozzies become infected with the Zika virus and then spread it by biting the local population, there is nothing to worry about unless you travel to a Zika infected country, that is, such as Brazil, for example.

Not true...it can be passed on from human to human via sexual contact or blood transfusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is true as well, however mozzies will be the most likely source of mass infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
