MOSQUITOES CAPABLE OF TRANSMITTING THE ZIKA VIRUS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN OTERO AND HIDALGO COUNTIES. THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SAYS THAT BRINGS THE NUMBER OF COUNTIES WHERE THE MOSQUITOES HAVE NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED TO EIGHT.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY MOSQUITOES BECOME INFECTED WHEN THEY FEED ON A PERSON ALREADY INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS. THOSE MOSQUITOES CAN THEN SPREAD ZIKA TO OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH BITES.
