Zika is not like Sars that is spread via-to-via human transmission through the air.Reply
Thus quarantine Zika victims does not help.
Even if Zika victims are quarantine, mosquitoes without zika still can bite them and transmit zika by biting others.

The more potent ways to stop the spread of Zika - is to eradicate Aedes mosquitoes and their eggs.
Maybe after scotched-earth insecticide spraying to eliminate the Aedes in those affected areas, it could be time to introduce those male mosquitoes to mate with any remnant Aedes mosquitoes that are missed out --- so that their eggs will no longer hatched.
This will be an extension of "control testing" - outside the selected sites - due to this emergency events of zika invasion.
