Instead, the man of transmission for women, had been pointed out earlier also in the USA and Europe . Scientists had also raised the possibility of the virus zika be transmitted by oral sex.

The cases were mostly men who traveled to areas where there is transmission by Aedes aegypti and then returned to his homeland where there is no sign of the mosquito, and led the zika virus to their partners through sexual intercourse.

the story is now a young woman from New York who traveled to a country where there is transmission zika – CDC (Disease Control Center) US did not say where -. and, in return, had sex with your partner without a condom

She began to feel the zika infection symptoms the next day ; it just a few days later.

The two consulted the same doctor, who raised the possibility of sexual transmission as the young man does not leave the US for more than a year.

case was taken to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene New York, who interviewed the couple. The reports were consistent, and the succession of events, the most probable hypothesis is that it has passed the virus to the boy.
