Zika virus is a mosquito-borne disease that is spread by the Aedes mosquito,
Casual contact like kissing or sharing of cutlery cannot transmit Zika virus from an infected person to others.
Mosquito bites are the major source of most Zika virus infections in people. After infection, the Zika virus is present in blood and saliva for two weeks, but it remains in bodily fluids like breast milk for weeks and semen for months.
The viral loads in the saliva are very low, anti-microbial components in the saliva also making that low level of virus less infectious than it might be in another bodily fluid like blood and semen.
Saliva is a viscous liquid, that prevents the ability of the virus to move and get to cells that they could infect.
Presently, there is no cure for Zika virus
infected person should rest, stay hydrated, use painkiller drugs and avoid mosquito bites.
