Florida finds Zika in trapped mosquitoes for first time

Authorities in Florida have found the Zika virus in three groups of trapped mosquitoes in Miami Beach, the first time this has happened in the continental United States.

The Zika-carrying mosquitoes were trapped in a 1.5-square-mile area of Miami Beach that had been identified as an active zone of active transmission of the virus, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said in a news release.
