Additional Zika Information and Resources:
Michigan is considered “low risk” for mosquito transmission of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses, as the mosquitoes that spread the diseases have not been found in the state. Rather, the primary risk of transmission in Michigan is from traveling to infected areas, or through sexual transmission with a male partner returning from an area with Zika activity.
