    Bolivia; Brazil; Cape Verde; Colombia; Ecuador; El Salvador; French Guiana;
    Guadeloupe; Guatemala; Guyana; Haiti; Honduras; Martinique; Mexico; Panama;

    where cases of Zika virus infection have been recently confirmed are at risk of
    being infected with the Zika virus. Mosquitoes that spread Zika are aggressive
    daytime biters, prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors near
    people. There is no vaccine or medicine available for Zika virus. The best way

    virus transmission will become infected while traveling but will not become
    sick until they return home. Some people who are infected do not have any
    symptoms. Symptoms include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. Other
    commonly reported symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The illness is
    usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Severe disease
    requiring hospitalization is uncommon and case fatality is low. Travelers to these
    areas should monitor for </span><span><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/zika/symptoms/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">symptoms</a></span><span> or illness upon return. If they
