ZIKA CASE INVESTIGATION
On November 16, 2015 a Houston clinician reported to the Houston Health Department, Bureau of Epidemiology two suspected cases of Zika virus.
An investigation was conducted to determine the source of infection and prevent the spread of disease.

CASE INVESTIGATION CONCLUSIONS
Education provided by public health investigator played a pivotal role in preventing transmission to mosquitos in the Houston area.
Texas case counts
Both cases were imported from Colombia where local transmission is ongoing.
Rapid identification of disease and notification by the clinician .

Mosquito-based Surveillance
Vector Control Outbreaks

Strategy to Respond to Zika
Develop laboratory testing capacity
Investigate cases and their contacts
Coordinate with mosquito control surveillance
Maintain situational awareness in the city and
region Improve our understanding
of the virus and its effects
Conduct neighborhood outreach to vulnerable communities
Clean-up garbage in neighborhoods
Eliminate standing water
Educate travelers & expecting mothers
Mosquito Control (HCPHES)

Mosquitos are “container breeders”
Eliminate all breeding sites in and around your home to prevent disease transmission.
