Zika uses human skin as ‘mosquito magnet’ to spread virus further Zika virus hijacks the skin of its human host to send out chemical signals that lure more mosquitoes to infect and spread the disease further, new research shows. Zika transmission has been reported more than 90 countries as the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that carries the virus, as well as dengue and chikungunya, […] Written by Admin January 31, 2025January 31, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
