Prevention before exposure:
The ways of prevention and control measure centers on
• Wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
• Staying in places with air conditioning and window and door screens.
• Use of mosquito bed net.
• Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellants with one of the following active ingredients: DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol.
• Permethrin-treated clothing. (27)
Prevention after exposure (return from areas with active Zika transmission even without symptoms):
• Prevent mosquito bites for 3 weeks so they do not spread Zika to mosquitoes that could spread the virus to other people. (27)
Children:
• Dress the child in clothing that covers arms and legs. …show more content…
However, the tissues donated by the ineligible donors (as per the FDA guidance) can be used if the tissues are properly labeled to indicate the potential risk, the physician knows the status of the gametes or embryos and the recipients are well aware and willing to incur the risk. (27)
Recommendation for Pregnant women:
• Pregnant women should avoid travel to areas of ongoing zika virus transmission.
• Use condoms during sex or to abstain from it during the duration of pregnancy if the male partners recently travelled to areas with active Zika virus transmission.
• Pregnant women who live in or travel to these areas should contact health care provider.
• EPA-registered insect repellents are proven safe and effective even for pregnant and breast-feeding women.
• Benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the theoretical risks of Zika virus infection transmission through breast milk. So, CDC encourages mothers with Zika virus infection and mothers living in areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission to breastfeed their infants. …show more content…
• In areas with active Zika virus transmission, the whole blood and blood components for transfusion are obtained from areas of the US without active transmission.(28)
• Active surveillance of imported cases and deferral of donors coming from outbreak areas.
• Seasonal entomological surveillance in countries that have a stable presence of arbovirus vectors and systematic screening for ZIKV genome through highly sensitive Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) (17,
