Toolkit for Investigating Possible Local Mosquito-Borne Transmission of Zika Virus

Summary

CDC has developed a toolkit to provide resources for investigating possible local mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission. This toolkit is for state and local health department epidemiologists, communication specialists, laboratory professionals, and other public health officials. The protocol and forms can be modified according to the specific needs of each jurisdiction. Links to current guidance are provided wherever possible. Users should refer to CDC’s Zika Interim Response Plan (Continental United States and Hawaii) for more information.
