		</div><p>European countries are being warned to act now to try to reduce the risk from the Zika virus.</p>
<p>It is being spread by a particular type of mosquito, which the World Health Organisation has said will be present in some European countries as the weather gets warmer.</p>
<p>The WHO says the insects should be killed, and people need to be told more about the infection.</p>
<p>It comes as the HSE confirmed the first cases of Zika virus here &#8211; with two people who had travelled to South America treated for illness.</p>
<p>Dr Kevin Kelleher from the HSE has said the mosquito responsible for the spread of the disease is not in Ireland: “It’s a disease caused by mosquitos and the people in South America have never been exposed before so they are very prone to it.</p>
<p>“It only really happens in tropical areas, so in terms of people from Ireland you are only really likely to get this if you travel to these areas.”</p>
