In US, spread of Zika linked to time spent outdoors
New research by Marco Ajelli, associate research scientist at Northeastern and an expert in infectious disease modeling, has linked a person’s risk of contracting Zika in the U.S. to time spent outdoors. The findings could impact how communities address the spread of Zika. “Maybe just looking at the areas with the highest density of mosquitos is not enough,” Ajelli says.
