Mosquito control officials in Miami brace for the first locally acquired Zika virus transmitted by mosquito.
Health officials are investigating one potential case, but have not ruled out if the patient acquired Zika from sexual contact.
Miami-Dade County Mosquito Control Operations Manager Chalmers Vasquez said inspectors are trying to get into every backyard to spray and eliminate breeding sites.
Health officials said lab tests confirmed the patient's infection, and there's no apparent connection to travel outside the country.
Miami-Dade County has the most confirmed Zika infections in Florida, but all have involved international travel.
The Florida Department of Health announced Thursday that another Zika case potentially not related to travel was being investigated in Broward County.
