Yet while alarms are being sounded in the Americas amid serious health issues, there is little concern here. Zika fever is suspected in a surge of birth defects in Brazil, where infections were first identified last year, but in Uganda, humans have never suffered a Zika outbreak since the virus was first found, in a monkey, in 1947. Now, there is sudden interest in the 25-acre (10-hectare) forest for which the virus is named, located on the edge of Lake Victoria and 23 kilometers (14 miles) from Kampala, the capital. “People have been calling me and saying, ‘What are you going to do with that mosquito? What are you still doing there?’ And I tell them that I have lived here for seven years and nothing has ever happened to me,” said Gerald Mukisa, a caretaker and tour guide at the forest. An Associated Press team this week visited the Zika Forest, which has 35-meter (38-yard) -tall trees and is, now fittingly, a research site for scientists with the Uganda Virus Research Institute. There’s also a derelict observation tower. Birdwatchers come and go, and musicians have come here to shoot videos for their songs. Real estate developers threaten encroachment on the forest reserve. But until the breakout of Zika in the Western Hemisphere, not much attention was paid to the virus in the forest, according to Ugandan officials. Zika is not considered a very important disease in tropical Africa where malaria, also transmitted by mosquitoes, is a major killer. “We have foxes here, rabbits, pythons, and even a leopard that lost its partner,” Mukisa, stocky 50-year-old in jungle boots, said as he trekked through the forest, bending away undergrowth that blocked his path. “People come here mostly as students or tourists. Now people are starting to ask about the mosquito.” The different impacts of the virus on humans in the tropics of Africa and those in Latin America and the Caribbean may be related to immunity and the fact that the mosquitoes carrying the virus here and there are different, with different habits. The mosquito responsible for the virus’ spread across the Atlantic belongs to a subspecies called Aedes aegypti aegypti, and that might be a crucial difference. The one found in Uganda is known as Aedes aegypti formosus, and it targets animals more than people, according to Dr. Julius Lutwama, the leading Ugandan scientist investigating viruses spread by bugs. He said there have been no reported cases here of birth defects like microcephaly — babies born with small heads — that have been linked to the virus in Latin America. While there has never been a known outbreak among people in Uganda, a few people have tested positive over the years, said Lutwama, who works with the Uganda Virus Research Institute and has investigated Zika for years. Yellow fever and dengue fever are more commonly reported in Uganda, and people infected with those diseases may also build resistance against Zika, he said. “Because these diseases are closely related and they are being transmitted by the same mosquito, the likelihood of cross immunity is very high,” he told The Associated Press. Matthew Aliota, a University of Wisconsin expert on the spread of mosquito-borne viruses, said scientists believe the cycles of Zika transmission are different in Uganda. While the Aedes aegypti aegypti in Latin America and the Caribbean prefers feeding on human blood, in Uganda the other type of the mosquito is spreading the virus. And that one prefers feeding on animals. “Most of the transmission is in the animal cycle, with occasional spillover in humans,” said Aliota, who recently studied the eruption of Zika cases in Colombia. Lutwama said the last time a sample in his lab tested positive for Zika was about three years ago, when a woman in northern Uganda with suspected yellow fever was found instead to be infected with Zika. “This patient had a fever, joint paints, nausea,” he said, adding that the symptoms were mild. Dr. Issa Makumbi, the head of epidemiology and surveillance at Uganda’s Ministry of Health, told AP “there is no threat” of a Zika outbreak in Uganda. ___ Associated Press writer Mike Stobbe contributed to this report from New York.","attrs_markdown":"[![AP Logo](https:\/\/assets.apnews.com\/19\/66\/bc546486408c8595f01753a9fbeb\/ap-logo-176-by-208.svg)](https:\/\/apnews.com\/)\n\nMenu\n\n- [World](https:\/\/apnews.com\/world-news)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [Israel-Hamas war](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war) [Russia-Ukraine war](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine) [Español](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/noticias) [China](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/china) [Asia Pacific](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/asia-pacific) [Latin America](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/latin-america) [Europe](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/europe) [Africa](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/africa)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [Kim Jong Un's sister rejects outreach by South Korea's new president](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/north-korea-kim-sister-south-tensions-b951e28a509350d018dee910fd1bce56)\n  - [Islamic State-backed rebels attack a Catholic church in eastern Congo, killing at least 34](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/congo-church-attack-islamic-state-deaths-da83ab694e991abfcc8166245a836d86)\n  - [Philippine troops kill 7 communist rebels in latest flare-up of decades-long insurgency](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/philippines-communist-guerillas-insurgency-3b0935ca43a138de7a3bd9283a419787)\n  \n  Newsletters\n  \n  [The Morning Wire Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Morning+Wire+Subscribers)\n  \n  [The Afternoon Wire Get caught up on what you may have missed throughout the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Afternoon+Wire)\n  \n  [See All Newsletters](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters)\n- [U.S.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/us-news)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [Immigration](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/immigration) [Weather](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/weather) [Education](https:\/\/apnews.com\/education) [Transportation](https:\/\/apnews.com\/us-news\/transportation) [Abortion](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/abortion) [LGBTQ+](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/lgbtq) [Notable Deaths](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/obituaries)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [Authorities seek to file terrorism and assault charges against suspect in Walmart knife attack](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/walmart-stabbing-michigan-341fb14f1bc715243b3780a3d7eabda0)\n  - [Passengers flee smoking jet on emergency slide after apparent landing gear problem at Denver airport](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/denver-jet-landing-gear-passengers-evacuate-56401b491b45735cb69410f1dcd8135d)\n  - [Police search for suspect in deaths of couple attacked while walking with daughters at Arkansas park](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/arkansas-state-park-stabbing-deaths-0366548e23a690beb4bb26f138a8cddc)\n  \n  Newsletters\n  \n  [The Morning Wire Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters?id=Morning+Wire+Subscribers)\n  \n  [See All Newsletters](https:\/\/apnews.com\/newsletters)\n  \n  AP QUIZZES\n  \n  [Test Your News I.Q. — take today’s quiz](https:\/\/apnews.com\/quizzes)\n- [Politics](https:\/\/apnews.com\/politics)\n  \n  SECTIONS\n  \n  [White House](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/donald-trump) [Congress](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/congress) [U.S. Supreme Court](https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/us-supreme-court) [2025 Election Calendar](https:\/\/apnews.com\/projects\/election-results-2025\/) [AP-NORC Polling Tracker](https:\/\/apnews.com\/projects\/polling-tracker\/)\n  \n  TOP STORIES\n  \n  - [It's a year of rapid change, except when it comes to Trump's approval numbers, AP-NORC polling finds](https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-approval-polling-favorability-presidential-approval-poll-f7eee34a49d2db7670577f4491e1caf0)\n  - [Trump once decried the idea of presidential vacations.

Yet while alarms are being sounded in the Americas amid serious health issues, there is little concern here.\n\nZika fever is suspected in a surge of birth defects in Brazil, where infections were first identified last year, but in Uganda, humans have never suffered a Zika outbreak since the virus was first found, in a monkey, in 1947.\n\nNow, there is sudden interest in the 25-acre (10-hectare) forest for which the virus is named, located on the edge of Lake Victoria and 23 kilometers (14 miles) from Kampala, the capital.\n\n“People have been calling me and saying, ‘What are you going to do with that mosquito? What are you still doing there?’ And I tell them that I have lived here for seven years and nothing has ever happened to me,” said Gerald Mukisa, a caretaker and tour guide at the forest.\n\nAn Associated Press team this week visited the Zika Forest, which has 35-meter (38-yard) -tall trees and is, now fittingly, a research site for scientists with the Uganda Virus Research Institute. There’s also a derelict observation tower. Birdwatchers come and go, and musicians have come here to shoot videos for their songs. Real estate developers threaten encroachment on the forest reserve.\n\nBut until the breakout of Zika in the Western Hemisphere, not much attention was paid to the virus in the forest, according to Ugandan officials. Zika is not considered a very important disease in tropical Africa where malaria, also transmitted by mosquitoes, is a major killer.\n\n“We have foxes here, rabbits, pythons, and even a leopard that lost its partner,” Mukisa, stocky 50-year-old in jungle boots, said as he trekked through the forest, bending away undergrowth that blocked his path. “People come here mostly as students or tourists. Now people are starting to ask about the mosquito.”\n\nThe different impacts of the virus on humans in the tropics of Africa and those in Latin America and the Caribbean may be related to immunity and the fact that the mosquitoes carrying the virus here and there are different, with different habits.\n\nThe mosquito responsible for the virus’ spread across the Atlantic belongs to a subspecies called Aedes aegypti aegypti, and that might be a crucial difference. The one found in Uganda is known as Aedes aegypti formosus, and it targets animals more than people, according to Dr. Julius Lutwama, the leading Ugandan scientist investigating viruses spread by bugs. He said there have been no reported cases here of birth defects like microcephaly — babies born with small heads — that have been linked to the virus in Latin America.\n\nWhile there has never been a known outbreak among people in Uganda, a few people have tested positive over the years, said Lutwama, who works with the Uganda Virus Research Institute and has investigated Zika for years. Yellow fever and dengue fever are more commonly reported in Uganda, and people infected with those diseases may also build resistance against Zika, he said.\n\n“Because these diseases are closely related and they are being transmitted by the same mosquito, the likelihood of cross immunity is very high,” he told The Associated Press.\n\nMatthew Aliota, a University of Wisconsin expert on the spread of mosquito-borne viruses, said scientists believe the cycles of Zika transmission are different in Uganda. While the Aedes aegypti aegypti in Latin America and the Caribbean prefers feeding on human blood, in Uganda the other type of the mosquito is spreading the virus. And that one prefers feeding on animals.\n\n“Most of the transmission is in the animal cycle, with occasional spillover in humans,” said Aliota, who recently studied the eruption of Zika cases in Colombia.\n\nLutwama said the last time a sample in his lab tested positive for Zika was about three years ago, when a woman in northern Uganda with suspected yellow fever was found instead to be infected with Zika.\n\n“This patient had a fever, joint paints, nausea,” he said, adding that the symptoms were mild.\n\nDr. Issa Makumbi, the head of epidemiology and surveillance at Uganda’s Ministry of Health, told AP “there is no threat” of a Zika outbreak in Uganda.\n\n\\_\\_\\_\n\nAssociated Press writer Mike Stobbe contributed to this report from New York.\n\nMost read\n\n[![President Donald Trump speaks with supporters before departing on Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House, Friday, July 25, 2025, in Washington.

Yet while alarms are being sounded in the Americas amid serious health issues, there is little concern here. Zika fever is suspected in a surge of birth defects in Brazil, where infections were first identified last year, but in Uganda, humans have never suffered a Zika outbreak since the virus was first found, in a monkey, in 1947. Now, there is sudden interest in the 25-acre (10-hectare) forest for which the virus is named, located on the edge of Lake Victoria and 23 kilometers (14 miles) from Kampala, the capital. “People have been calling me and saying, ‘What are you going to do with that mosquito? What are you still doing there?’ And I tell them that I have lived here for seven years and nothing has ever happened to me,” said Gerald Mukisa, a caretaker and tour guide at the forest. An Associated Press team this week visited the Zika Forest, which has 35-meter (38-yard) -tall trees and is, now fittingly, a research site for scientists with the Uganda Virus Research Institute. There’s also a derelict observation tower. Birdwatchers come and go, and musicians have come here to shoot videos for their songs. Real estate developers threaten encroachment on the forest reserve. But until the breakout of Zika in the Western Hemisphere, not much attention was paid to the virus in the forest, according to Ugandan officials. Zika is not considered a very important disease in tropical Africa where malaria, also transmitted by mosquitoes, is a major killer. “We have foxes here, rabbits, pythons, and even a leopard that lost its partner,” Mukisa, stocky 50-year-old in jungle boots, said as he trekked through the forest, bending away undergrowth that blocked his path. “People come here mostly as students or tourists. Now people are starting to ask about the mosquito.” The different impacts of the virus on humans in the tropics of Africa and those in Latin America and the Caribbean may be related to immunity and the fact that the mosquitoes carrying the virus here and there are different, with different habits. The mosquito responsible for the virus’ spread across the Atlantic belongs to a subspecies called Aedes aegypti aegypti, and that might be a crucial difference. The one found in Uganda is known as Aedes aegypti formosus, and it targets animals more than people, according to Dr. Julius Lutwama, the leading Ugandan scientist investigating viruses spread by bugs. He said there have been no reported cases here of birth defects like microcephaly — babies born with small heads — that have been linked to the virus in Latin America. While there has never been a known outbreak among people in Uganda, a few people have tested positive over the years, said Lutwama, who works with the Uganda Virus Research Institute and has investigated Zika for years. Yellow fever and dengue fever are more commonly reported in Uganda, and people infected with those diseases may also build resistance against Zika, he said. “Because these diseases are closely related and they are being transmitted by the same mosquito, the likelihood of cross immunity is very high,” he told The Associated Press. Matthew Aliota, a University of Wisconsin expert on the spread of mosquito-borne viruses, said scientists believe the cycles of Zika transmission are different in Uganda. While the Aedes aegypti aegypti in Latin America and the Caribbean prefers feeding on human blood, in Uganda the other type of the mosquito is spreading the virus. And that one prefers feeding on animals. “Most of the transmission is in the animal cycle, with occasional spillover in humans,” said Aliota, who recently studied the eruption of Zika cases in Colombia. Lutwama said the last time a sample in his lab tested positive for Zika was about three years ago, when a woman in northern Uganda with suspected yellow fever was found instead to be infected with Zika. “This patient had a fever, joint paints, nausea,” he said, adding that the symptoms were mild. Dr. Issa Makumbi, the head of epidemiology and surveillance at Uganda’s Ministry of Health, told AP “there is no threat” of a Zika outbreak in Uganda. \_\_\_ Associated Press writer Mike Stobbe contributed to this report from New York.
