The advisory followed the Singapore Ministry of Health’s report that they found 10 Bangladesh nationals among the Zika-infected people in the country until Sep 1. The ministry, however, notified that the affected Bangladeshis had “very mild symptoms and most of them either have recovered or are recovering”. The Aedes Aegypti mosquito that causes Zika also causes dengue fever which is prevalent in Bangladesh. Bangladesh identified a case of Zika in March while re-testing the old blood samples collected for dengue amid global concerns. In 80 percent of the cases, symptoms do not appear.
