1. Overview
.
Since 2007 more than 62 countries and territories have reported
transmission of Zika virus. This number is likely to increase to include
other countries with Aedes mosquitoes and other potential competent
vectors.
.
Increases in cases of congenital malformations such as microcephaly, and
neurological syndromes such as Guillain-Barrsyndrome, have recently been
associated with Zika virus outbreaks. New research has strengthened these
associations; however more investigation is needed to establish causal
relationships. Other potential causes are also being investigated.
.
This website will be regularly updated with advice to national authorities
and health care practitioners on travel health issues related to Zika
virus.
.
2. National authorities
.
In the context of Zika virus, countries are advised that:
.
There should be no general restrictions on travel or trade with countries,
areas and/or territories with Zika virus transmission.
.
Standard WHO recommendations regarding vector control at airports should
be implemented in keeping with the IHR (2005). Countries should consider
the disinsection of aircraft.
.
With regard to surveillance, health workers and the health sector should
be on alert specifically for Zika virus disease in travellers returning
from affected countries. It is important that travellers and health care
practitioners are informed on a range of issues before, during and after
travel to areas with Zika virus transmission. Health authorities should:
.
Provide up-to-date advice to travellers on how to reduce the risk of
becoming infected, including preventing mosquito bites and practicing
safer sex. ?
Advise travellers from areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission to
practice safer sex and not to donate blood for at least 1 month after
return, to reduce the potential risk of onwards transmission.
Advise pregnant women not to travel to areas with ongoing Zika virus
transmission.
.
Advise pregnant women whose sexual partners live in or travel to areas
with ongoing or recent Zika virus transmission to ensure safe sexual
practices or abstain from sex for the duration of their pregnancy.
Alert health care practitioners to the possibility of Zika virus infection
in symptomatic travellers with a recent history of travel to areas of
known, ongoing Zika virus transmission and areas at risk of transmission.
Provide health care practitioners with clear guidance on how to refer
travellers with suspected Zika virus infection to appropriate management
and testing.
