Explanation:

Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys. Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite during the day. Dengue is also transmitted by Aedes. Sexual transmission is also possible in case of Zika.
