Containers include items like buckets, wheelbarrows, rain gutters, tarps, bird baths \u2013 basically anything that holds water. Within a few days (temperature dependent), these eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on organic matter in water and need to come to the surface to breathe with their siphon. After the larval stage, the larvae turn into pupae and stop eating. After a few days to a week, the adult mosquito emerges from the pupal case. It takes about 7-10 days for an egg to develop into an adult mosquito.<\/p>\r\n          <p> <\/p>\r\n          <h2><strong>Diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n          <p>Health care providers diagnose Zika virus infection based on:<\/p>\r\n          <ul>\r\n            <li>Recent travel to a <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/page\/zika-travel-information\">country with a current Zika outbreak<\/a><\/li>\r\n            <li>Signs and symptoms<\/li>\r\n            <li>Laboratory tests of blood or urine<\/li>\r\n          <\/ul>\r\n          <p>Testing is recommended if you have symptoms of Zika and have traveled to an area with risk of Zika \u2013 especially if you are a pregnant woman.<\/p>\r\n          <p> <\/p>\r\n          <h2><strong>Treatment <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n          <p><a name=\"_Hlk162444176\">There is no specific medicine to treat Zika and there is no vaccine to prevent Zika.
