Zika virus has made it to the United States. There have been confirmed cases in 10 states. Humans can contract Zika through the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms can last up to a week and typically include fever, rash, joint pain and pink eye. There is no vaccine or specific antiviral treatment. The illness is usually mild in adults, but there are concerns of the virus causing severe birth defects in babies who’s mothers were infected while pregnant.
