The top local stories this morning from KERA News: The CDC has confirmed the first case of male-to-male transmission of Zika virus in Dallas County.
One man contracted the virus during a trip to Venezuela back in January. Two days after his return to Dallas, he gave the virus to his partner, who did not travel.
Zika is primarily a mosquito-born virus, but five U.S. cases resulted from sexual transmission. 27 cases of Zika virus have been confirmed in Texas so far.
