A woman in the UK is thought to have been infected with the Zika virus through sexual transmission, health officials have said.

Public Health England (PHE) said that one case of "likely sexual transmission" of Zika virus infection has been reported in the UK.

Meanwhile, of the 265 travel-associated cases reported in Britain, seven have been diagnosed in pregnant women, PHE said.

PHE said the case of sexually transmitted Zika virus was identified in a woman whose partner had recently visited an affected region.

She has since made a full recovery, PHE said.
