Zika 'active transmission area' in Miami, state health department says

MIAMI _ Florida's Department of Health announced there's a "high likelihood" of four locally-transmitted cases of the Zika virus in Miami-Dade and Broward County and "believes there's an active transmission area" that includes Wynwood, Midtown and the Design District areas of Miami.

The department defined the transmission area's boundaries as U.S. 1 (Biscayne Boulevard) to the east; Northwest Fifth Avenue to the west; 20th Street on the south; and 38th Street on the north.

"While no mosquitoes trapped tested positive for the Zika virus, the department believes these cases were likely transmitted through infected mosquitoes in this area," the department declared in a news release.
