Aedes mosquitoes acquire and transmit Zika virus by breeding in contaminated aquatic environments

Here the authors show that Aedes mosquitoes can acquire ZIKV by breeding in contaminated aquatic systems, and that these infected mosquitoes can transmit ZIKV to susceptible mice. This suggests that human urine containing aquatic environments could contribute to ZIKV transmission.
