Transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) is a serious problem in public health, which can make the babies suffer from microcephaly if their mothers are infected by ZIKV during pregnancy. In this paper, we develop a model of ZIKV transmission in Colombia on complex networks which considers both sexual transmission among humans and the transmission by an infective vector in the process of propagation. We estimate the basic reproduction number R-0 and prove that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R-0 < 1. In addition, we study the effects of sexual transmission and the transmission route by an infective vector on the process of propagation. Invasion regions of ZIKV were shown in two-parameters space. The obtained results may provide new insights for the control of ZIKV. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Inc.
