Zika Virus Adds to Kerala's Woes

It’s a double whammy for Kerala. As the state battles a fresh surge in infections, it has reported 23 cases of the Zika virus, a mosquito-borne flavivirus transmitted through Aedes mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are usually seen early in the morning or late in the evening and are also responsible for the transmission of chikungunya, dengue, and yellow fever.
