"New cases of Zika virus likely to peak in 12-18 months, then expected to drop"

"Osterholm, the director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy, said while the risk from Zika is high now, it will likely subside. If the pattern of spread of related diseases can be used to predict what will happen with Zika, this period of explosive transmission will ebb in a year or two."

"'We’re going to see this likely peak in the next 12 to 18 months in terms of the number of new infections. And then as more people become infected, and recover, the transmission dynamics will drop,' he said."

#USA, #Texas: Reported #Zika Virus Cases – June 14, 2016 (DoH, edited) https://t.co/Zp9s0xPreT

The US state of Texas is reporting 42 cases - the majority of which are importations.

WHO chief says Colombia isn't counting microcephaly cases the way other countries are.

"One puzzling situation though, is that of Colombia. Though it has had thousands of infections in pregnant women, the WHO says Colombia has reported only seven cases of microcephaly. Brazil has reported 1,551."

"One potential explanation, Aylward said, is that other countries are reporting all cases where microcephaly is seen, even if it appears in a miscarried or aborted fetus. Colombia, on the other hand, is only reporting microcephaly when a baby is born with the condition."
