Zika Virus Returns to Florida After 6 Years

The Zika virus resurfaces in Florida, one of the top U.S. tourist spots, after a six-year hiatus since the 2016 outbreak. Health officials report renewed mosquito-borne transmission risks in areas like Miami-Dade and southern Florida, where models predict high vulnerability due to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and traveler influx from affected regions. Pregnant women face heightened concerns as the virus links to microcephaly in newborns.
