How can we stop the spread of infected mosquitos? With the increasing prevalence of Zika, concrete answers are needed now more than ever.

  • Choose condoms with reservoir tips.
  • Cover strollers and cribs with mosquito netting.
  • Avoid raw foods when traveling abroad.

  • Current and possible future legislation you need to know!
