The Zika virus is now spreading in a state besides Florida, with a Texas resident likely getting the virus from a mosquito bite.
Texas’ Department of State Health Services reported that a resident in Cameron County, near the border with Mexico, contracted the virus that is linked to birth defects. If the case of local transmission is confirmed, Texas would join Florida as the only U.S. states where the virus is spreading locally.
