DescriptionA conceptual figure of Zika virus transmission routes.jpg
English: Zika virus is primarily acquired and transmitted in humans through mosquito vectors (red arrows). Once infected, humans can pass infection to other humans, either vertically, sexually, or through contaminated blood (teal arrows), or by providing an infected bloodmeal to competent mosquitoes (red arrow). Spillover transmission occurs when a competent mosquito acquires infection from a sylvatic source (reservoir) and transmits the infection to a human, whereas spillback transmission would occur if a competent mosquito acquires infection from a human and transmits it back to a competent wild host (red dashed arrows). Additional unconfirmed routes of transmission include sexual transmission among sylvatic hosts (pink dashed arrow, left), and vector-borne transmission to and from domesticated mammals (pink dashed arrows, right)
