The response led by the PAHO and partners suggests major lessons of this outbreak. A seemingly innocuous pathogen became the new villain, causing fear, economic losses and, most importantly, debilitating birth defects and neurological problems, reaffirming the well-known war principle of never to underestimate one's opponent. The ZIKAV tested public health capacities under the International Health Regulations, highlighting the need for continued investment in health security. Last but not least, the lack of appropriate tools was another reminder of the pressing need for innovative solutions to persistent problems. Latin America and the Caribbean have approximately 500 million persons living in areas at risk for transmission of ZIKAV. The fight against ZIKAV is not a 100-m race, but rather a marathon in which science and public health need to work hand in hand for the benefit of our peoples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,2]],"date-time":"2017-05-02T07:00:05Z","timestamp":1493708405000},"page":"16-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Keynote Address (November 2016): Zika Virus Disease in the Americas: A Storm in the Making"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Carissa","family":"Etienne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Director, Pan American Health Organization, Washington, District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thais dos","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis Department, Pan American Health Organization, Washington, District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcos A.","family":"Espinal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis Department, Pan American Health Organization, Washington, District of Columbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz","first-page":"569","article-title":"First report of autochthonous transmission of Zika virus in Brazil","volume":"110","author":"Zanluca","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Epidemiological Update: Neurological Syndrome, Congenital Anomalies and Zika Virus Infection, 17 January 2016","author":"Pan American Health","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep","first-page":"59","article-title":"Possible association between Zika virus infection and microcephaly\u2014Brazil, 2015","volume":"65","author":"Schuler-Faccini","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Epidemiological Alert: Zika Virus Infection","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Epidemiological Update","year":"2017"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Zika Case Counts","year":"2017"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"An R&D Blueprint for Action to Prevent Epidemics","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Emerg Infect Dis","first-page":"12","article-title":"Assessing the epidemic potential of RNA and DNA viruses","volume":"22","author":"Woolhouse","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"International Health Regulations, 2005","year":"2008"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Am J Public Health","first-page":"279","article-title":"International health regulations, Ebola, and emerging infectious diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean","volume":"106","author":"Espinal","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"CEPI: New Vaccines for a Safer World","year":"2017"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"The Short-Term Economic Costs of Zika in Latin America and the Caribbean","year":"2016"}],"container-title":["The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/97\/1\/article-p16.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/97\/1\/article-p16.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/97\/1\/article-p16.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]],"date-time":"2024-08-07T22:23:15Z","timestamp":1723069395000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/97\/1\/article-p16.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,12]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0207","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,12]]}}}
