A North Idaho woman who recently traveled to Mexico was infected with Zika virus, which can cause severe birth defects if the infection occurs in pregnant women. The woman, who was over the age of 60, is the first reported case of Zika virus infection in the state, which makes the 47th state to report a travel-related Zika virus infection this year, according to state and local health officials; the S-R’s full story is online here. The woman reportedly had symptoms, but did not require hospitalization.

A pregnant woman in Spokane County was diagnosed with the Zika virus earlier this year, but she gave birth to a healthy child. She was infected while she was traveling out of the country, according to the Spokane Regional Health District.

Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that is most commonly spread through the bite of the Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, which are not found in Idaho.
