Zika FAQs
Q: Can I get Zika virus in Hudson
County?
A: It is almost certain that infected travelers will bring Zika
virus into Hudson County. However, low numbers of human cases,
improved living standards, limited numbers of mosquito vectors and
mosquito control efforts make the local transmission of Zika virus
by mosquitoes unlikely in Hudson County. This situation is
very similar to what we experienced in 2014 with Chikungunya virus.
Dozens of imported cases of Chikungunya occurred but there we no
locally acquired cases and no infected mosquitoes were found.
But bear in mind, Zika virus can be spread by a man infected with
Zika to his partners.
Q: What is mosquito control doing about
Zika?
A: Our team will be increasing our efforts to control the potential
vector of Zika virus, Aedes albopictus (the Asian tiger mosquito).
In addition, we will be implementing surveillance and control
efforts in areas where there are imported cases of Zika to try and
prevent the virus from getting into the mosquito population.
See what you can do to
reduce mosquitoes around your home.
