Zika virus found in new type of mosquito
Brazilian researchers have found signs of the Zika virus in Culex mosquitoes found in Recife, Brazil. Until now, Zika was believed to be carried only by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. According to the study, Culex mosquitoes are "20 times greater than the population of Aedes aegypti" in Recife. However, it is still not known if Culex mosquitoes can transmit the virus.
