I haven't heard of any recent baby cases here in Texas.  I asked my OB about it and we did a quick blood test that came back negative.  Effects of Zika can also be seen on ultrasound so if your doctor hasn't mentioned anything you and baby are probably just fine.

Yes it is contracted through a bite from a infected mosquito and is actually able to be sexually transmitted by a infected male.
