Zika spreads in Miami

The Zika virus is continuing to spread in the US state of Florida.

Authorities say two locally-contracted cases have been reported in Miami Beach, outside the designated "Zika zone" linked to more than thirty infections so far.

Up until now, only mosquitos from one Miami neighborhood were believed to carry the illness.

Researcher, Matthew DeGennaro from Florida International University, expects more cases as Zika-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitos spread to other parts of the US.
