What is the Zika virus?

Zika is a virus that can be transmitted by the bite of the Asian tiger mosquito. The virus is not transmitted from human to human. If, however, a healthy mosquito bites a Zika virus vector, the mosquito becomes a vector itself and can infect a healthy person. The virus’ symptoms resemble those of the flu. However, it is considered extremely dangerous for pregnant women and their babies. Given the association of the Zika virus with microcephaly, preventing the spread of the epidemic is imperative, especially for women of childbearing age. That’s why the prevention against this type of mosquito is so important. The Teza Mat and Teza Liquid products effectively combat the Asian tiger mosquito and reduce its spread.
