Canada's first case of sexually transmitted Zika virus confirmed in Ontario
April 26, 2016 10:42
Canada has recorded its first confirmed case of sexually transmitted Zika virus in an Ontario resident whose partner was infected after travelling to a country where the mosquito-borne disease has become endemic.
The case was announced Monday by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Ontario Ministry of Health, but no further details about the resident were made public.
The diagnosis was confirmed after testing by PHAC's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, which is still investigating another possible case of sexually transmitted Zika.
