MIAMI • United States health officials have reported the first known case of a man who acquired the Zika virus while travelling, showed no symptoms and infected a female partner during unprotected sex.The case suggests that the risk of Zika's spread may be far greater than previously understood, and may lead to more stringent recommendations about who should practise protected sex and for how long after travelling to Zika-affected areas, said the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The man, who lives in Maryland, travelled to the Dominican Republic earlier this year and returned without reporting any symptoms of Zika, which can include rash, joint pain, fever and red eyes.
