17 March 2016: Zika - Epidemiological Update

Available data reported suggests a downward trend in reporting of Zika virus cases in the Region of the Americas. However, some countries and territories (Dominican Republic, French overseas collectivities in the Americas, Haiti, and Venezuela) are experiencing an increase in Zika virus reports. Due to delays in reporting and further geographic spread of Zika virus to areas that have the vector-mosquito capable of transmission, the epidemiological curve is subject to change.
