Officials in Canada confirmed on Monday the country’s first case of a sexually-transmitted Zika virus infection. The World Health Organization has identified Zika cases in Argentina, Chile, France, Italy and New Zealand as likely caused by sexual transmission, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also investigating cases of possible sexual transmission. Along with the new case transmitted locally through sex, Canada has confirmed 55 Zika infections, all related to travel to other countries.
