PaperBoy Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 The Zika virus, first identified in Uganda in 1947, is transmitted by the same type of mosquito that carries dengue, yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis. A mosquito bites an infected person and then passes those viruses to other people it bites. Outbreaks did not occur outside of Africa until 2007, when it spread to the South Pacific to the Americas, leading to the 2015–16 Zika virus epidemic.
