Zika virus is an arthropod-borne flavivirus mainly transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. However, alternative transmission routes can occur. In this study, we show the accidental transmission of virus from an infected mouse to a human during the experimental manipulation. This study describes the patient clinical manifestations and virus genome identification.
