I am not too concerned with contracting the Zika Virus when I visit the BVI in a month. I fly a Mosquito Control Helicopter somewhere in Florida so I'm up-to-date on the Zika virus as well as how mosquito's breed and what carries what virus. I just was out spraying several ditches today to kill the larvae that turns into mosquitoes.

The Zika virus right now is thought to be spread by a mosquito that bites during the day, though there are rumors that it is also spread by the Culex species. The Aedes Aegypti that is thought to spread it is a container breeder and does not travel far from where it breeds.

I will make sure that we spray ourselves before we go out and try not to put ourselves in areas that I can see that will breed. Clothes and deet will help when we go ashore.
