CDC allocates nearly $184 million to combat Zika virus and its associated health risks, including microcephaly. This funding will support various states, territories, and universities in their efforts to protect public health.

A study reveals a four-fold increase in microcephaly cases in Colombia following the 2016 Zika virus outbreak, indicating that the risk is highest among pregnant women infected early in their pregnancy. This finding underscores the broader impact of Zika virus outbreaks beyond Brazil.

CDC researchers, alongside US and Brazilian teams, have documented cases of microcephaly onset after birth in infants with congenital Zika virus infection. This study highlights the ongoing neurological complications associated with Zika, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance.

CDC allocates $2.4 million to five jurisdictions, including Chicago and New York City, to improve systems for detecting microcephaly and other outcomes related to Zika virus infection. This funding aims to enhance public health responses to the ongoing challenges posed by Zika.

CDC allocates $16 million to states and territories to combat Zika virus and its associated risks, including microcephaly. This funding aims to enhance rapid case identification and response efforts.

CDC allocates nearly $60 million to states and territories to combat Zika virus disease and its associated health risks, including microcephaly. This funding aims to enhance protective measures against Zika infections.

CDC allocates $25 million to states and territories to bolster Zika virus preparedness and mitigate associated health risks, including microcephaly. This funding aims to enhance public health responses to prevent infection and its severe consequences.

The CDC has announced over $85 million in funding for U.S. states and territories to combat Zika virus and its associated health risks, including microcephaly. This funding aims to enhance local preparedness and response efforts against Zika infection.

CDC scientists confirm that Zika virus causes microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects, solidifying the link between the virus and these critical health issues. This conclusion is based on a thorough review of existing evidence.
