Developed by Ascel Bio, ZikaRisk provides a daily update for local mosquito habitation and weather conditions to identify high risk areas. However, the app doesn’t take into consideration risk factors like sexual or human contact.

The app is currently available for Apple products, and will soon be expanded to include a five-day forecast, according to a statement from Ascel Bio.
