This document provides an overview of Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission, symptoms, and control measures. It details the history of ZIKV outbreaks, modes of transmission, and associated health risks, including microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The article emphasizes the importance of integrated vector management, including inspection, resident cooperation, larviciding, and adulticiding, to control mosquito populations. It also highlights the identification and biology of mosquito vectors, particularly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, and discusses regulatory aspects of mosquito control in Florida.
