Public Health Response to Zika Virus Exposure of Air Force Members Deployed to Caribbean Islands, 2016.

CONCLUSIONS: This field investigation identified differing, mission location-dependent ZVD attack rates and a 0:9 asymptomatic-to-symptomatic case ratio. As this was unexpected based on a previous report of a 4:1 ratio, it emphasizes the need to be cautious before generalizing outbreak characteristics between populations while also offering additional practical experience for force health protection.
