Background and Brief Description
In May 2015, the Pan American
Health Organization (PAHO) issued an
alert regarding the first confirmed Zika
virus infections in Brazil. Since then,
CDC has been responding to increased
reports of Zika and has assisted in
investigations with PAHO and the
Brazil Ministry of Health. The first
regional travel notices for Zika in South
America and Mexico were posted in
December 2015. In December 2015, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a United
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
States territory, reported its first
confirmed locally transmitted Zika virus
case. Cases of local transmission have
recently been confirmed in two other
U.S. territories, the United States Virgin
Islands and American Samoa. As of
April 6, 2016, U.S. territories had
reported 351 locally acquired Zika cases
and 3 travel-associated Zika cases to
CDC. Of the 354 cases reported, 37 were
in pregnant women. Zika has not been
spread by mosquitoes in the continental
United States. However, lab tests have
confirmed Zika virus in travelers
returning to the United States. These
travelers have gotten the virus from
mosquito bites and a few non-travelers
got Zika through sex. With the recent
outbreaks in the Americas, the number
of Zika cases among travelers visiting or
returning to the United States is
increasing. CDC monitors and reports to
the public cases of Zika, which will
help improve our understanding of how
and where Zika is spreading.
Zika virus is spread to people
primarily through the bite of an infected
Aedes species mosquito (A. aegypti and
A. albopictus). Mosquitoes that spread
Zika virus are aggressive daytime biters,
but they can also bite at night. A
pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to
her fetus during pregnancy. CDC is
studying how Zika affects pregnancies.
Zika is linked to microcephaly, a severe
birth defect that is a sign of incomplete
brain development. Microcephaly is a
condition where a baby’s head is much
smaller than expected. During
pregnancy, a baby’s head grows because
the baby’s brain grows. Microcephaly
can occur because a baby’s brain has not
developed properly during pregnancy or
has stopped growing after birth.
In February and March 2016, CDC
used OMB emergency clearance
procedures to initiate and expedite
multiple urgently needed information
collections in American Samoa, Puerto
Rico, Brazil, and domestically within
state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT)
jurisdictions. These procedures have
allowed the agency to target and refine
public health interventions to arrest
ongoing spread of infection.
With this notice, the CDC is
announcing its intention to seek OMB
clearance to continue a Zika-related
information collections a call center in
CDC’s Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) to respond to inquiries on clinical
care of persons potentially of interest for
Zika virus infection beyond its current
emergency expiration date [OMB
Control No. 0920–1101, expiration date
8/31/16]. Respondents to this
information collection include the
general public, clinicians, and
employees at STLT health departments.
