Montana has first case of Zika virus

Pregnant women should consider not traveling to the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil due to the risk of Zika virus infection, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.

Pregnancy outcomes among the nine confirmed cases included two early pregnancy losses, two elective terminations, and three live births - one infant had severe microcephaly.

Ten other reports of pregnant women with Zika-like symptoms are being investigated, the CDC said. There are now six possible or probable cases of sexual transmission from a man who had traveled to a Zika zone to a woman.

The agency warned that pregnant women who have a male partner going to Brazil for the Olympics or the Paralympics are at risk of becoming infected through sex and should either use condoms properly for all sex or abstain for the rest of their pregnancies.

City took advantage of two of its title rivals dropping points, with all of its goals coming in the second half against Villa. Wenger insisted that Spurs' Eric Dier should also have seen red, having pulled back Olivier Giroud when already booked.

All nine women reported at least one of the four most commonly observed symptoms of Zika infection: fever, rash, an eye infection called conjunctivitis, or joint pain.

"According to the CDC website, there are 107 travel-associated Zika cases in the United States so far", she continued.

The CDC has identified many countries where there are known, active Zika virus transmission, but there's two main areas that you want to pay attention to. Sangue Bom carries out clinic analyses, among them searches for Dengue, Zika and Chicungunya viruses in blood. If so, this would be the first time a mosquito-borne virus would be responsible for causing birth defects.

To help residents resolve questions about the virus and its spread, the state has set up a Zika Virus Information Hotline. Microcephaly has been linked to the Zika virus, particularly in Brazil, where almost 6,000 cases have been reported.

Cruz led with 51 per cent of ballots to Trump's 24 per cent with 54 per cent of ballots counted , CNN reported . He said the first-term senator "scammed the people of Florida" by skipping so many Senate votes.

Pregnant women who have potentially been exposed also may require closer monitoring throughout the pregnancy.

"Even though the [U.S.] numbers are small, they are of considerable interest", CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said during a news conference Friday. Both people later tested positive for the virus. "We should all get in the habit of taking proactive measures to prevent mosquito-breeding spots and mosquito bites".

The state of Florida reported Thursday, three cases of pregnant travelers in Florida. The report highlighted two cases in which women contracted Zika after having sex with symptomatic men.

Stern words for GOP from loyal Trump supporter
There also appears to be movement among Cruz's colleagues in the Senate to get behind him - though none have endorsed him to date. While that may offer some encouragement to the also-rans, it also probably doesn't help to quickly clarify the race overall.
