At least 41 people on site with the Zika virus have infected Singapore (AP) - in Singapore. These were new investigations of sick patients who previously not had been tested on Zika, as media reported.
The health authorities had ordered the new tests after the first infection within the Asian city-State was discovered on Saturday. It's a 47-year old woman from Malaysia working in Singapore and contracted there.
None of the patients had been previously traveling in Central or South America, where the virus within months had spread rapidly. The environmental protection agency put dry 19 potential mosquito breeding sites throughout the city, apparently contracted in the most people. The virus is transmitted by certain mosquitoes. Also an infection through sexual intercourse is possible.
The Zika pathogen raises mostly no or only mild symptoms such as fever. Pregnant women with the virus, but infected their babies can come with small skulls in the world (microcephaly). The children are often mentally impaired.
Recently, even the United States had demonstrated Zika contagions directly in parts of Florida. In the United States in the future as a precaution throughout the country all blood donations on the pathogen should be tested to stop further spread.
