Zika virus passed from Utah patient to caregiverFILE – In this Jan. 27, 2016, file photo, an Aedes aegypti mosquito is photographed through a microscope at the Fiocruz institute in Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil. Zika virus can cause a variety of symptoms, including rash and joint and muscle pain, but often carries no symptoms at all. Mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus are not believed to present in Utah. Previous research has shown Zika virus has been detected in blood, semen, saliva, urine, breastmilk and in swabs from the female genital tract.
