Materials associated with the Analytic Solutions for Real-Time Biosurveillance: Assessing Risk for Emerging Arboviral Disease consultancy held June 14-15, 2016 at the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Problem Summary
Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses are emerging and expanding public health threats in recent years, all of which are spread through the bite of infected Aedes spp. mosquitoes. Arizona is at elevated risk for travel-associated cases of disease due to the proximity and high volume of travel to Mexico and other countries, where transmission of all three diseases is ongoing. The combination of frequent travelers and the presence of Aedes aegypti in multiple regions of the state raises the level of concern for sporadic local transmission of these diseases as well as sustained endemicity.
Identifying the areas in Arizona at highest risk for developing locally acquired cases is critical to facilitate rapid response, strengthen public health actions, and reduce the risk of additional disease spread.
