Mosquitoes in Florida likely infected four people with the Zika virus, Florida officials said (http://www.floridahealth.gov/newsroom/2016/07/072916-local-zika.html) Friday.
The likely outbreak could be the first time Zika was found to be transmitted via infected mosquitoes in the continental United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed (http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2016/p0729-florida-zika-cases.html).
The Florida Department of Health said that one woman and three men who had the virus likely got the infection from local mosquitoes.
