The best way to prevent Zika, according to the CDC, is to prevent mosquito bites. The organization recommends using air conditioning in the home or staying in places with air conditioning to prevent bites, according to an article on the ACHR News website.
According to Jerome Hogsette, lead scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Mosquito and Fly Research Unit, “Air movement is known to be effective in disrupting insect flight.”
He suggested air curtains as a possible solution to preventing mosquitos from infiltrating buildings.
“By providing direction to air movement, it creates a barrier, thus air curtains can protect against the intrusion of mosquitoes, flies, and other flying insects.”
