After months of investigation, health officials still aren't sure how a Utah man caught the Zika virus after caring for his infected father in a transmission unlike others seen before, according to a new report released Tuesday.
The head of the government's fight against the Zika virus said that "we are now essentially out of money" and warned that the country is "about to see a bunch of kids born with microcephaly" in the coming months.
Congress' Republican leaders face decisions on averting a federal shutdown, containing the Zika virus and impeaching the head of the IRS, with approaching elections pressuring the GOP to avoid doing anything that could damage its standing with voters.
Authorities in Florida said Thursday they have found the Zika virus in three groups of trapped mosquitoes in Miami Beach, the first time this has happened in the continental U.S.
The government told all U.S. blood banks Friday to start screening for Zika, a major expansion intended to protect the nation's blood supply from the mosquito-borne virus.
Florida's governor says that state has confirmed five new non-travel-related cases of Zika, including one in the Tampa Bay area, though officials aren't so far declaring that a zone of active local transmission.
