The Malaysian health ministry on Saturday said it has detected the first case of a locally transmitted Zika infection in a 61-year-old man in the state of Sabah.
"MOH is investigating the patient’s recent travel history. There is a high possibility that the Zika infection was transmitted locally (as the patient has not travelled abroad recently and was likely bitten by an Aedes mosquito carrying Zika)," the Health Ministry said in a statement.
