Two Zika virus cases reported in Pune

Zika virus infection was reported in a 46-year-old doctor from Erandwane and his 15-year-old daughter.

Originally discovered in 1947 in Uganda's Zika Forest, the Zika virus is a mosquito-borne infection.

It primarily spreads through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti.

Officials stated that a Zika infection in pregnant women can result in microcephaly in the fetus.
