A pregnant Spanish woman has been diagnosed with the Zika virus in what is thought to be one of the first case of its kind in Europe.
Health officials said the woman had become infected after she returned from Colombia, and is one of seven confirmed cases in the country.
Zika, which is spreading through the Americas, Caribbean, Pacific and parts of Africa, has been linked to babies being born with brain defects.
In a statement, the Health Ministry said the pregnant woman was under supervision in the north east region of Catalonia.
It added she was in a good condition but did not give any details on the condition of her unborn child.
Officials said the number of cases diagnosed so far are within expectations, and there is no risk of the virus spreading throughout the country.
Two more patients have been diagnosed in Catalonia, two in Castile and Leon, one in Murcia and another in Madrid.
The World Health Organisation has declared an international emergency over the virus and its link to birth defects, with fears as many as four million people could be infected this year.
Yesterday the NHS said people who had travelled to countries affected by the Zika outbreak had been barred from giving blood for a month after they returned home.
