Answer #1

Ans: A disease caused by Zika virus that is spread through mosquito bites. A mosquito bites an infected person and then passes those viruses to other people it bites. His wife has the mosquito bite which may be zika virus and transmitted to her husband. People who have traveled to affected regions should be extremely vigilant against mosquito bites when they return home. The CDC also recommends using condoms or abstaining from sex for 8 weeks for women or 6 months for men to avoid sexual transmission.
