FRISCO (CBSDFW) - The Colin County Health Care Services confirmed on Monday afternoon that a resident in Frisco has tested positive for the Zika virus.

Officials say the woman, who had traveled outside of the United States, isn't pregnant.

Health inspectors with the city visited the woman's home to look for signs of mosquito activity but found no threats.

"Mosquito season is here," said Julie Stallcup, Environmental Health Supervisor.  "Residents need to protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellents, first and foremost.  Experts tell us mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus are predominantly 'day biters', which differs from mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus.  To fight any bites, we need to make applying insect repellents part of our daily routine."

The Texas Department of State Health Services says to use caution when traveling to regions and countries where Zika virus transmission is ongoing.

Symptoms include fever, rash, join pain and red eyes that may persist up to a week.
