Step 1: Understand the modes of transmission for the Zika virus. Zika virus is primarily transmitted by mosquito vectors, but not all mosquito species are involved.
Step 2: Identify the mosquito species that transmit Zika virus. The main vector is the Aedes mosquito, not the Culex mosquito, so transmission via Culex mosquitoes is generally not considered a route for Zika virus spread.
Step 3: Consider vertical transmission. Zika virus can cross the placenta from a pregnant woman to her fetus, which is a well-documented mode of transmission causing congenital infections.
Step 4: Evaluate sexual transmission. Zika virus can be transmitted through sexual contact, which is an important non-vector mode of transmission.
Step 5: Based on these points, determine which options are correct by excluding transmission via Culex mosquitoes and including placental and sexual transmission.
