Mosquitoes caught in South Beach, Florida, were carriers of the Zika virus. This was announced on Thursday by the Department of Agriculture. The tests performed provide the first convincing evidence that insects in the United States are carriers of the virus.
Two or more Zika virus infections in Miami-Dade have been reported by the Florida Department of Health.
"This finding is disappointing but not surprising," said Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. “Florida is one of the best states in the country when it comes to mosquito monitoring and control.”
The tourism industry in South Florida is seriously concerned about the possible spread of Zika in Miami Beach, since the region’s economy is largely dependent on its revenues, which amount to about $ 24 billion a year.
It has been confirmed that a Florida Zika virus has infected 36 people. Government officials say most of the infections occurred north of Miami, in Wynwood.
Florida became the first state in the United States, which was recorded virus spread Zika. On July 29, Governor Rick Scott reported that this zone is located in Wynwood, Miami-Dade County, north of downtown Miami.
As ForumDaily wrote earlier, within several weeks the spread of the virus has broken records. Earlier, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention introduced South Beach in the list of places at high risk of contracting the virus. His visit is primarily undesirable for pregnant women.
Texas and Louisiana can be following states for the spread of Zika virus after Florida. This can contribute to the flooding of Louisiana.
