Zika has been detected in one more mosquito sample from a small area in Miami Beach, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced Saturday.

  • Another mosquito sample tested positive for Zika
  • Sample from Miami Beach

The sample comes from the same area where five other samples previously tested positive for Zika. That area is within a zone that has been treated for local transmissions, officials said.

Nearly 4,000 mosquito samples have been tested since May; only six tested positive for Zika.

Miami-Dade County’s Mosquito Control team says it will continue to conduct inspections to reduce mosquito breeding.

According to the Florida Department of Health, more than 700 cases of Zika have been reported in the state of Florida.

Last week, Congress approved a deal that would allocate $1.1 billion to study and fight the Zika virus.  The money will be used to fund vaccines, research and health care in areas with high rates of transmission.

To prevent the spread of Zika, officials suggest removing standing water around homes and businesses, which can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
